power
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy,
announces that its Karavasta solar plant, with a capacity of
140 megawatts, located in
the Fier district, south of Albania, is built and ready to generate
power.
On 17th October, as part of a State visit, the
French President Emmanuel Macron and the Albanian Prime Minister
Edi Rama welcomed in Tirana representatives from both Albanian and
French branches of Voltalia. The Karavasta solar plant is the
largest in Albania and indeed the largest in the Western Balkans.
It is now built and is expected to produce its first megawatt-hours
in the coming weeks.
With a capacity of 140 megawatts, the plant
can provide electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of
220,000 residents, which is twice the energy needs of Albanian
cities such as Vlora or Kamza.
In addition to meeting these energy needs, the
Karavasta solar plant will play a pivotal role in preserving the
environment by preventing over 29,165 tonnes of CO2 per annum,
which is roughly 7% of the emissions from the Albanian industrial
sector. The plant will thus significantly contribute to the
ambitious target set by the Albanian government to reach 54.4% of
renewable energies in the country's gross energy consumption by
2030.
This extensive project, carried out over about
200 hectares in less than 18 months, is supported by long-term sale
contracts.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, who responded
to questions from French President Emmanuel Macron and Albanian
Prime Minister Edi Rama, stated: "Voltalia thanks all stakeholders
who have made the Karavasta project a reality, particularly the
Albanian Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Infrastructure and
Energy, as well as the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development. I also warmly thank everyone on our team who
contributed to this success. Karavasta is a shining example of how
quickly decarbonised and competitive local electricity production
can be implemented."
