1. RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ALBANIA Tirana, September 22 nd, 2008 NATIONAL AGENCY OF NATURAL RESOURCES

2. THE MAIN ISSUES Planning of energy needs, Planning of energy needs, Statistics in the energy sector Statistics in the energy sector Annual energy balance Annual energy balance Promotion of renewable energy sources use Promotion of renewable energy sources use Energy efficiency use Energy efficiency use

3.  Energy demand database,  Energy Supply database,  Transformation Process ENERGY STATISTICS

4. KToe Energy demands Industry Residential Transport Service Agriculture Energy supply HPP TPP Technologies of Renewable Sources

5. Production Import Export Stock Transformation System Industry Residential Service Transport Agriculture Energetic sources Transformation Energetic consumption ENERGY BALANCE

6. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES SOLAR ENERGY Solar Energy use for domestic hot water Albania Potential approximately: 240-260 sunny days/year. Solar Energy use for domestic hot water Albania Potential approximately: 240-260 sunny days/year. The solar radiation is from 1200 to 1600 kWh/m 2 /year. The solar radiation is from 1200 to 1600 kWh/m 2 /year. Favors conditions for renewable energy use: Hydro energy Hydro energy Solar energy Solar energy Wind energy Wind energy Biomass Biomass Geothermal energy Geothermal energy

7. Territory distribution of annually sunny hours Average daily solar radiation

8. WIND ENERGY It is a possibility to produce electricity. The many years absence of measurements for the speed and the duration of wind is a study object. It is a possibility to produce electricity.

9. The average wind velocity (m/s) Territory distribution of annually windy hours

10. BIOMASS Geothermal sources with high potential in our country are: Geothermal area of Kruja Geothermal area of Kruja Geothermal area of Ardenica Geothermal area of Ardenica Geothermal area of Peshkopia Geothermal area of Peshkopia Geothermal sources in our country are estimated with low thermal potential (max. temp. 20-33°C). For Biomass we can use: Wood and bush Wood and bush Agriculture Residue Agriculture Residue Livestock Residue Livestock Residue Urban Residue Urban Residue Wood can be used for heat demand especially in the rural areas. Actually, they can contribute with 256 Ktoe. GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
