Investment Development With Ost Funds

Investment Development With Ost Funds

In the last three years, a total of about ALL 15,102 billion (122 million euros) have been invested in the OST network.

The focus of these investments has been mainly the increase of security and quality of electricity supply through the rehabilitation of substations mainly 110kV with depreciated equipment in time and in operation mainly manual as well as the reconstruction of 110kV and 220kV lines aiming to increase the transmission capacity of to be able to withstand not only the current peak load but also to be willing to wait for the expected renewable energy sources in the near future.

Investments are distributed throughout the country but mainly in substations and lines that have needed emergency intervention for the long time of construction of their operation and in terms of their depreciation.

More specifically during this period were performed:

1. Reconstructions of Substations:

2. Completed investments: reconstructions and construction of new lines:

Meanwhile, the following projects are being implemented:

Dismantling of the existing 110kV Laç line 2- Mat Bridge and Skuraj – Mat Bridge, construction of the new 110kV Laç line 2- Mat bridge with two circuits with ACSR 240 / 40mm2 conductor about 5.6 km long, construction of the new line 110kV Skuraj-Ura e Matit with a circuit with ACSR conductor 240 / 40mm2 about 4.5 km long. The positive impact of the construction of this line is the increase of the transmission capacity of energy flows from the power plants of Ulza, Shkopet and other HPPs in the area towards the load center mainly in Tirana.

Construction of a line with two circuits 110 kV Fiber-Librazhd and the treaties of the respective lines in the Fiber and Librazhd Substation financed by OST funds with a value of about 464 million ALL.

The project envisages the construction of a new 110kV line with two Fiber-Librazhd circuits about 23km long, with ACSR conductor 240/40 mm2 and the construction of two line tracts at Librazhd and Fiber stations. The positive impact of the construction of this line is in increasing the transmission capacity of energy flows from the currently connected HPPs and the expected RES-E in the near future, increasing the security and quality of electricity supply, improving the voltage profile within the allowed values.

Other investments whose contract was concluded in 2020 & 2021 and in the process of implementation are:

  1. Construction of a new 110 kV line, with a circuit Cerrik – Kajan – Kuçovë – Jagodina and rehabilitation of the output tracts of 110 kV lines of C / Stations Cerrik and Kuçovë
  2. Displacement of the 220 kV double circuit airline Tirana 2 – Elbasan

Reconstruction of the 110 kV line Librazhd-Prrenjas

  1. Construction of 110 kV double circuit line N. Elbasan Station – N. Fiber Station
  2. Construction of a new 110 kV double line circuit Elbasan – Cërrik
  3. Primary works, supply and installation of Transformer TR 63 MVA, 220/20 kV, in Substation Tirana 1, secondary works for its adaptation to existing systems
  4. Construction of a new 110 kV line, with a circuit Lushnje – Fier
  5. Construction of a new line with two circuits 110 kV Burrel – Bulqiza and rehabilitation of 110 kV Substations, Burrel and Bulqiza
