Chief Executive Officer Bruno Papaj said the firm signed a memorandum of understanding with an Indian investor on the construction of Albania’s first lithium ion battery plant. The facility is planned to come online within two years, with 100 MW in annual capacity.
Hydropower makes up almost the entire domestic output in Albania, which helps balancing to a point, but it has no pumped storage hydropower plants. Furthermore, the country is exposed to drought and often turns to emergency imports.
Vega Solar, a pioneering Albanian energy company, has revealed plans for a groundbreaking partnership with an undisclosed Indian investor objective of establishing the country's inaugural lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility. The CEO of Vega Solar, Bruno Papaj, announced this strategic allianc
Furthermore, the country is exposed to drought and often turns to emergency imports. Tirana-based Vega Solar, which develops, installs and maintains rooftop solar power plants, saw an opportunity to contribute to diversification with battery energy storage systems.
Growing global demand for lithium-ion batteries due to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and the growth of renewable energy storage places heavy demands on lithium mining and processing, which in turn raises relevant concerns about resource depletion and environmental impact.
Vega Solar, founded six years ago, earlier said it would pursue large renewables investments. The companies didn’t provide any other details. As for the rest of the region that Balkan Green Energy News covers, there is still very little battery production capacity, but several major projects are underway. They include mining investment proposals.
