Power Plants in Albania

Albania has 16 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 102nd-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 5 operating and 11 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.7 GW across 5 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Moglicë Pumped Storage hydroelectric plant (1.2 GW).

The largest owner-operators are RenX Albania (4), KESH (3) and Statkraft AS (2) — RenX Albania alone is named on 25% of them. Half of Albania's power plants in service predate 1985 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Vau i Dejës hydroelectric plant, dating from 1973. 11 are in the pipeline, led by Moglicë Pumped Storage hydroelectric plant (1.2 GW), proposed. They account for 50% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Albania.
