Albania’s government has approved the construction of CWP's 600 MW wind project planned to be developed near the town of Tropoja (North Albania) (Balkan Green Energy News, 13/01/2026). The project is expected to be completed by 2027, as part of a larger €1.1bn investment plan to develop large-scale clean energy projects in the Western Balkans.
CWP Europe has 890 MW in wind power projects under development in Albania, with a portfolio of over 7 GW across Southeast Europe. The group is developing the 400 MW Montechevo solar+storage project in Montenegro.
At the end of 2024, Albania had a total installed capacity of about 2.9 GW, of which 86% consists of hydroelectric capacity with no wind capacity although it has an estimated wind potential of 7.4 GW (Enerdata’s Global Energy Research).
