Prime Minister Edi Rama expressed confidence today that Albania will achieve energy sovereignty within the current government mandate.

At the start of the “Flasim” podcast, Rama first shared details about his participation in the 2026 Sustainability Week in the United Arab Emirates. During one panel, he and the Prime Minister of Montenegro answered questions regarding Albania’s efforts in sustainable development. Specifically, they discussed expanding energy capacity and maximizing technology as a critical tool, especially to support Albania’s EU accession process.

Furthermore, Rama highlighted the trilateral cooperation between the UAE, Albania, and Italy. He emphasized Albania’s central role as the country where a green energy generation capacity will be established.

Through an undersea cable connecting Albania and Italy, this green energy will flow to Italy and other countries. As a result, Albania will gain a significant strategic advantage in the region.

Moreover, Rama stressed the symbolic importance of the initiative. “Most importantly,” he said, “I delivered a message that I personally, and our governing majority, take pride in: Albania will be sovereign in energy. According to our detailed program and the steps we are implementing, Albania will achieve energy sovereignty within this government mandate, the mandate of 83.”

In summary, Rama concluded that Albania’s green energy projects will not only strengthen its economy but also secure its strategic independence, while positioning the country as a key energy hub in the region.
