TIRANA, January 19 – Prime Minister Edi Rama said the wind renewable energy park project in Tropojë will deepen the diversification of the country’s energy portfolio.

At the start of the “Let’s Talk” podcast, he reviewed the week’s key developments. He highlighted the major wind energy project in Tropoja.

Meanwhile, Rama said the week marked progress in economic development. He stated that the project represents another important step toward energy sovereignty. He added that it strengthens the foundations of the economy and brings Albania closer to a point where it will no longer need to use taxpayers’ money to import energy.

In addition, the prime minister assessed the move to the second phase of the Tropoja wind park project. He said the phase foresees a production capacity of 600 megawatts.

According to Rama, this step opens a new phase and completes a joint effort of around two years with the American company CWP, a leader in renewable energy in Europe.

Later, he said a preparatory process shorter than the construction phase itself will enable progress. He added that after 12 months of work, excluding periods when winter prevents normal field activity, the wind park will connect to the national production grid. As a result, Albania will further diversify its energy portfolio.
