ALBANIA ENERGY STORAGE RENEWABLE ENERGY
The new hybrid storage system developed in the HyFlow project combines a high-power vanadium redox flow battery and a green supercapacitor to flexibly balance out the demand for electricity and
Albania gets about 2100–2700 hours of sunshine in a year so it has a great potential for solar energy. Solar energy is easily accessible since most energy comes directly or indirectly from the sun. It could be used for heating and lighting homes, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Furthermore, the country is exposed to drought and often turns to emergency imports. Tirana-based Vega Solar, which develops, installs and maintains rooftop solar power plants, saw an opportunity to contribute to diversification with battery energy storage systems.
Hydropower makes up almost the entire domestic output in Albania, which helps balancing to a point, but it has no pumped storage hydropower plants. Furthermore, the country is exposed to drought and often turns to emergency imports.
Vega Solar, founded six years ago, earlier said it would pursue large renewables investments. The companies didn't provide any other details. As for the rest of the region that Balkan Green Energy News covers, there is still very little battery production capacity, but several major projects are underway. They include mining investment proposals.
