Description
With world electricity demand increasing, exploitation of the considerable potential for hydropower generation in many developing countries is an attractive prospect. Even Albania looks to have a high potential in this sector. In general, electricity generation in Albania mainly depends on hydropower, as about 90% of electricity is generated by it. For this reason, we aim to identify and explore challenges and prospects of hydropower sector in our country regarding the economic and social aspects. Also, is important to see if Albania can be the leader of the Western Balkans. To get the results we used secondary data, collected from different reports and publications. This study shows us that Albania, despite of non-favorable political and technology developments, has done a big step to create a stable source of energy. This thing impacts economic growth in the long run.
