Karavasta Photovoltaic Park – The winner of the auction is announced with an offer of 24.89 euros / MW, Balluku: Record price

The company Voltalia, with 100% French capital, has been announced the winner of the auction for the construction of the photovoltaic park of Karavasta with an installed capacity of 140 MW, while the price offered for the purchase of energy is 24.89 euros / MW. This is the price at which the Albanian state guarantees the purchase of electricity for a period of 15 years for 70 MW, while another 70 MW will be able to be traded by the company in the free market. During the opening of the bids, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, considered a record price for energy parks, not only in the region, but also in the world.

The company’s investment will be over 100m euros, while the contract will be for 30 years. The race for the construction of the Karavasta photovoltaic plant opened in January this year, but it was postponed twice due to the situation created by COVID-19. Meanwhile, there were 5 companies for which the bids were evaluated, but 4 of them failed to pass the stage of technical conditions.
