TIRANA, May 23 /ATA/ – By Harilla Koçi/ As the need for electricity is on increase, the municipality of Vlora is gearing up to make use of renewable energy sources to light public venues in the city.
Vlora mayor, Dritan Leli, tells ATSH that an EU- funded project will enable the use of solar energy, which requires the installation of a panel system of contemporary standards. In co-operation with the
EU Delegation in Tirana, this project is on the final stage. Currently, the municipality of Vlora disburses a monthly fund of ALL 13 million or about EUR 100 thousand for the lighting of public spaces, a figure five times as high as in 2015.
The transformation and modernization of public spaces, as a result of numerous investments in infrastructure during these three years, is associated with an increasing need for electricity.
This contemporary form adds to investments made in the light of “smart city” profile, which entails interesting projects such as “SmartCity Lungomare” presented with the national award by civil society or others in the agenda of the govt. The city of Vlora is experiencing a boom in development. The recent investments include the project for reconstruction and re-qualification of Vlora-Skela boulevard with works on the first segment running at rapid rates.
