The second, led by ARLIS SHPK, will see the development of a 15\u202fMW plant in the village of Gajde, Berat County. Both projects reflect the growing commitment of Albanian companies to green energy initiatives.  <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1420\">The Republic of Albania Continues Its Ambitious Path Toward Sustainable Energy Supply<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1422\" data-end=\"1712\">Government Positions Solar Energy as a Key Technology<br \/>The Albanian government has set a target of reaching 3\u202fGW of installed solar capacity by 2030. This goal is part of a broader energy strategy aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels, promoting climate protection, and ensuring energy security.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1714\" data-end=\"2248\">To reach this target, the MIE continues to plan major investment projects. In May 2025, a call for applications was launched for the construction of a 100\u202fMW solar park in the Lushnja region (Fier County). Additionally, through a public-private partnership and with support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Albania secured a \u20ac100 million loan for another 200\u202fMW solar project in Karavasta, which is also expected to become operational by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2250\" data-end=\"2307\">Albania as a Regional Pioneer in the Energy Transition<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2309\" data-end=\"2710\">With a clear vision and concrete investment measures, Albania is positioning itself as a <strong data-start=\"2400\" data-end=\"2445\">regional leader in the energy transition across the Balkans<\/strong>. The continuous approval of new solar facilities, support for both private and public investment, and active international cooperation clearly demonstrate the country\u2019s serious commitment to renewable energy and a forward-looking energy policy. The two new solar projects for 2025 are yet another strong signal of Albania\u2019s sustainable transformation in the energy sector\u2014and serve as a model for other countries in the region.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"122\" data-end=\"186\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republic of Albania is moving steadily forward on its ambitious path toward a sustainable energy future.
