A project for the construction of a wind farm has been submitted to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy.

The Ministry published this application giving details on the subject and capacity, as well as the fact that the project is independent and does not benefit from support measures.

The local company "YEL" shpk has expressed interest and submitted to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, the application for the construction of a wind power plant with an installed capacity of 28.5 MW, for the production of electricity from renewable sources, which is not the subject of a concession and does not benefit from support measures, located in Vau i Dejes Municipality, Shkodra Region.

The deadline for sending comments to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy is 15 days. 

This is not the only application for projects in wind energy made in recent years, but their number is significantly lower than that for photovoltaic energy. From ERE, until now, there are only two licenses for the production of energy from the wind, as earlier the government announced the winners of the auctions for the wind plants. Specifically, in July of last year, the winners were announced for a capacity of 222 MW.

At that time, the merger of the total EREN and KMV shpk gave the lowest bid in the government auction for wind energy capacities. The price offered was 44.88 euros/MWh for a capacity of 75MW, while two other companies announced as winners offered prices very close to the ceiling set by the government.
