Albanian Power Corporation
Albanian Power Corporation (KESH; Albanian: Korporata Elektroenergjitike e Shqipërisë) is the public producer and the largest producer of electricity in Albania. KESH manages the main electricity production plants in the country. These assets consist of the Drin Cascade hydropower plants (HEC Fierze, HEC Koman and HEC Vau i Deja) with an installed capacity of 1,350 megawatts (MW), and TEC Vlora with an installed capacity of 98 MW.
The cascade built on the Drin River Basin is the largest in the Balkans both in terms of installed capacity and the size of hydrotechnical works. Having 79% of the production capacity in the country, KESH supplies about 70-75% of the demand for electricity of tariff customers, ensures the coverage of losses in the transmission system, and through balancing energy and auxiliary services guarantees the security of the system Albanian energy.
KESH is also responsible for the administration, operation and guarantee of technical and operational safety of the energy works it administers.
KESH is not only one of the producers of electricity from the most important hydro sources in the region, but it is also considered a factor with regional influence in terms of the safety of hydro works. (ex. KESH) is a vertically integrated state-owned commercial company and is the main and most important producer of electricity in Albania.
Its foundations started in 1957 with the creation of the General Directorate of Electric Power Plants (DPCE) as the only entity that realized the production, transmission and distribution of electricity to the consumer as well as the exchange with neighboring countries.
The company KESH sh.a., in response to the dynamics of the development of the national legal framework, which aims to harmonize with the legislation of the European Union on energy, has undergone a series of fundamental transformations since 2000, transforming from a vertically integrated company (genesis from 1957), in a society today focused on the production and trading of electricity.
In 1992, DPCE was transformed into the state enterprise Albanian Power Corporation, and in 1995 it received the status of an anonymous company with all of its shares owned by the state.
In 2001, the current Statute of KESH sh.a came into force, which, in accordance with EU legislation on the privatization of non-natural monopolies, provided for the division of basic functions, separating Transmission and Distribution from the company, leaving only Energy Production. With the subsequent developments, in 2004 KESH sh.a. was removed from the Broadcasting function that it performed until this period and the Broadcasting System Operator (OST) was created.
