Energy created from water
NUMBER SPEAKS
In 2024, according to INSTAT, hydro power has been responsible for the production of 99.4% of electrical energy in Albania.
By hydro power, we refer to the electric power generated from the kinetic energy of flowing water. The kinetic energy interacts with the hydroelectric turbines installed in hydro plants, resulting in the production of electricity. This electricity is fed into the grid, which then distributes it to various consumers.
Storage Capability
Hydropower plants can store energy through pumped storage systems, where water is pumped to a higher elevation during low demand periods and released to generate electricity when demand is high, helping to balance the grid.
Renewable Energy Source
Hydro power is a renewable energy source that uses the natural water cycle, including rainfall and snowmelt, to generate electricity without depleting the resource.
Environmental Impact
While hydro power is generally cleaner than fossil fuels, it can have significant environmental impacts, such as altering river ecosystems and affecting fish populations.
