Vlora Thermo Power Plant, Albania – where is the electricity?
Briefing | 15 May 2011
The oil and gas-fired thermo-power plant in Vlora, Albania – in a tourism-dependent city and only 100 metres from the protected Narta lagoon – was financed by the EBRD, the European Investment Bank and the World Bank.
After a slew of problems, including lack of proper public consultation, the plant is not actually working – two years after it was supposed to have been completed – and it is increasingly doubtful whether it will start to produce electricity any time soon.
