TIRANA, November 10 – Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku presented the new Power Distribution Operator Charge service. The project promotes electric vehicles and adds charging points in key areas of Tirana.

She highlighted progress in the energy sector. The ministry improved the legal framework, liberalized the energy market, and advanced regional integration through the Albanian Power Exchange.

Balluku said the next steps include a national plan for energy and climate. The plan will guide a green transition in line with European Union goals.

The Power Distribution Operator Charge network will use renewable energy. It will offer fast and competitive charging. The first station will rise near the TEG area toward Farka, Tirana. It will include ten fast-charging towers that can charge twenty vehicles in ten minutes.

Balluku added that the legal framework for vehicle charging remains incomplete. This gap created unregulated practices and uneven standards. The new project aims to solve these issues.
