KESH said water levels at the cascade’s reservoirs were measured at 292.4 metres at Fierza, 171.5 metres at Komani and 74.7 metres at Vau i Dejës, while inflows into the system were running at 1,000 cubic metres per second.

Two days earlier, the utility said the hydropower plants on the Drin river cascade were operating at maximum capacity following a rise in water levels caused by heavy rainfall in early January.

Daily electricity generation from the three plants had reached 25,000 megawatt hours, ensuring stable supply for domestic demand and supporting the country’s energy security, KESH said.

To manage inflows during the rainy period, controlled discharges from the Komani plant reached 1,200 cubic metres per second, while discharges at Vau i Dejës stood at 1,600 cubic metres per second.

KESH said it continues to closely and continuously monitor hydrological conditions across the cascade to ensure safe and efficient management of water resources.
