Construction

Pumped hydro

Statkraft has announced a plan for pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which will use the Moglicë Hydro Power Plant's reservoir as the lower reservoir and a new upper reservoir, creating an opportunity for a reverse pump. Construction is predicted to begin in 2025 and to finish in 2030. Its capacity will be 1.2 GW and the storage capacity of the reservoir will be 28Gwh. [10]
