Renewable energy in Albania includes biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind energy. 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. Mountain elevations provide good areas for wind projects. There i
Albania: The ''Sleeping Renewable Energy Giant'' of The Balkans?
Although Albania has currently no wind power capacity, the country also presents a significant cost-competitive wind potential based on IRENA''s estimates.
