Voltalia (Euronext Paris, code ISIN:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies,
announces today that it has been awarded a new
100-megawatt solar project in Albania. This is the
second project won by the company in the
country in less than a year.
This 100-megawatt project, called Spitalla, was
won after a tender launched by the Ministry of Infrastructure and
Energy last November. Voltalia has been awarded a 30-year
concession contract on a 121-hectare site in the region of Durrës,
on the Adriatic coast, some 30 kilometers from Tirana, capital of
the country. The project will benefit from the region’s very great
potential of solar radiation.
Out of the 100 megawatts, 70% will be sold
through a 15-year power sale contract with FTL, a state-owned
operator. The remaining 30% will be sold through another long-term
power sale contract negotiated with a private operator.
The Spitalla plant will be commissioned in 2023.
Voltalia will be responsible for the development, construction and
maintenance of the project.
This is the second photovoltaic tender launched
by Albania in less than a year. Once again, Voltalia wins all the
capacity involved in the tender. As a reminder, in May 2020,
Voltalia had already announced that it had won a 30-year concession
contract to develop, construct and operate Karavasta's 140-megawatt
solar project. The two projects located a few tens of kilometers
away from each other, with a coordinated implementation calendar,
will benefit from significant synergies during construction as well
as throughout the operating period.
Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia,
concludes: "We are very pleased to have won this new project
which perfectly illustrates the synergies generated by our
integrated model. Already present in the country since 2018 through
our activity of construction and maintenance of solar power plants
for third-party customers, we have been able to develop an
excellent knowledge of the country and its energy challenges.
Albania benefits from an exceptional sunshine that allows for high
yields of solar assets."
