Bulgaria’s Cut Export Triggers Energy Crisis in Albania

The Albanian power corporation announced it is urgently looking to increase imports of electricity to avoid a shutdown of its main hydropower stations.

The country is gasping to meet energy demands suffering from lack of rain and buing no more electricity from Bulgaria after the closure of nukes 3 and 4.

Andi Beli, head of the state-owned Albanian Electro-Energy Corporation, or KESH, said the lack of rain had dried up lakes at hydropower plants in the north, and the shutdown of imports from Bulgaria has caused a serious electricity crisis in the Balkan country.

…
KESH has imposed up to 12-hour daily power cuts throughout the country due to difficulties in importing and domestic production.

Hospitals, government institutions, water supply, bakeries and police were being given priority in power supply, though such institutions are also suffering from shutdowns.
