Authorities approved the construction of a 128 MW photovoltaic power plant in Fier. The company “SOLEN ENERGY” will build the facility in Sheq-Marinas.

The Council of Ministers approved the project. However, the project is not a concession. It also does not benefit from state support measures.

The company must complete construction within 36 months. It must secure the building permit and put the plant into operation within this period. Afterwards, the plant is expected to operate for 49 years.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy and the National Agency of Natural Resources will supervise the project. They will conduct periodic monitoring. They will ensure that construction and operations follow technical standards and documentation.

In addition, “SOLEN ENERGY” must report progress every three months. The company must respect all permit conditions, licenses, and environmental authorizations.

The project also requires an energy contribution to the state. Specifically, the company will provide 2% of the produced energy free of charge to the responsible ministry. Alternatively, it may convert this share into a monetary value for the state budget. The company may sell the remaining energy to the public supplier under current legislation.
