TIRANA, February 4/ATA/ Today, there is opened the second call for support for 2,000 families to install solar panels for water heating, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku.
After the success of the first call, where 1,981 families across the country have solar panels for water heating installed in their homes today, subsidized at 70% by the state budget, work has already begun on the second call, a measure that directly affects the reduction of electricity bills for families that have installed this system.

Upon completion of this phase, starting on February 24, the applications will be open for the citizens.
“All the business that wish to provide services, installation and solar panels for the households must start applying on the Energy Efficiency Agency website. And then the second phase begins, on February 24, all family subscribers who wish to be equipped with these solar panels, which are subsidized 70% by the funds created by the Energy Efficiency Agency, can start their application, considering that 2000 units are available to be used in this second package”, explained Balluku.
The minister added further that the diversification of renewable sources is a national strategy, which the Albanian government has been pursuing since 2019, but what we are asking for, Balluku added, is the involvement of all citizens in this strategy which will lead our country towards a secure future in the energy sector, turning Albania into a net energy exporting country by 2030. /a.f/r.e/p.s./
