TIRANA, March 20/ATA/ Energy Minister Belinda Balluku announced in a press conference the measures that will be taken to save the energy.
The minister said that the energy will be cut off in some main road axes of the country and their branches. There will also be interruptions of energy for institutions after 00:00 hrs.
But, the measures taken will not affect households or small businesses, for which there will be no price changes or interruptions of electricity supply.
Balluku said energy should be saved while the energy quantities in the international markets are limited.
“Since, there will be no rainfall over the next 2 weeks, the situation gets aggravated and we will turn to import and therefore, we will have to consume as little electricity as possible. We have prepared an import request for 17 thousand 800 MWh of energy. Albanian Road Authority in cooperation with the Electricity Utility OSHEE will take measures for interruption of energy in some national road axes, such as Tirana-Durrës, Qafë Kashar-Rinas, Korçë-Ersekë, Lin-Pogradec etc. There will also be interruptions in some road branch, such as Fier Bypass, Lezhë-Shengjin and Shkodër-Hani i Hotit. These measures will not affect those roads that are related with road safety, such as the roundabouts. The institutions will also limit energy for unnecessary lighting, starting at 00:00. The government will continue to protect the households, medium business that will also have no change in price. The quantities in the international markets are limited, so we are looking for your understanding “, said Balluku./p.s./
