ENERGY PROFILE Albania
emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries

Albanian government has been focused on the diversification of its supply with energy and the promotion of other renewable energy resources, such as biomass, solar energy and wind energy. As the feed-in tariff scheme we will expect that the share of energy from renewable sources will grow towards the target set for 2020, (38%).
RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Albania has significant renewable energy resource potential from hydro, wind, and solar energy. The country currently relies on hydropower for almost all of its electricity, which creates difficulties when water flows are low.
Albania
Renewable Energy Law. The overall 2030 renewable energy target is subdivided into sectorial targets for electricity (178,1%), transportation (34,6%), and heating and cooling (16,6%). The 2030 target for renewable energy in the heating and cooling sector is not as ambitious as required by Article 23 of Renewable Energy Directive (REDII).
Renewable energy in Albania
Renewable energy in Albania includes biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind energy. [1] Albania relies mostly on hydroelectric resources, therefore, it has difficulties and shortages when water levels are low. The climate in Albania is Mediterranean, so it possesses considerable potential for solar energy production. [2]
