New Energy Park near Durres

Albanian authorities approved on Monday the construction of a large energy park in the Porto Romano area, close to the port city of Durres.

The energy park will include a three million ton oil refinery; an 800 MW coal fired thermal power plant, and a gas and bio-diesel terminal. The construction of the project will be carried on by the Italian energy giant ENEL.

Enel ultimately plans to build its plant, fuelled by imported coal, with a generating capacity of approximately 1,300 MW, which would supply electricity to both the Italian and Albanian markets.
