TIRANA, January 14 – Hydro power plants in the Drin cascade produce around 27,000 MWh, maintaining recent levels to use inflows from heavy early-January rains.

The Albanian Power Corporation (KESH) says natural inflows remain moderate. Fierza HPP receives about 500 m³/s, Koman 250 m³/s, and Vau i Dejës 50 m³/s.

KESH directs discharges mainly from Koman and Vau i Dejës HPPs to optimize production. Koman releases 200 m³/s, and Vau i Dejës 300 m³/s.

The company confirms reservoir levels stay within safety parameters. These conditions support continued hydroelectric production in the coming days.

Current reservoir levels are 292.4 m at Fierza, 170.6 m at Koman, and 73.8 m at Vau i Dejës.

Officials say KESH continuously monitors water levels and applies an operational strategy to maximize domestic production, ensure dam safety, and reduce energy imports.
