The Deputy Minister of Energy and Industry Gëzim Musabelliu, taking into consideration a repeated concern of environmentalists about the ban on the construction of the HPP in the Vjosa river, said that it has been decided that this area should be declared a national park. But he clarified that what has been built so far from the hydraulic works or those that are in the process cannot be erased.
In this activity were discussed the possibilities of Albania to increase the production of electricity with internal hydro sources.

Protest against the construction of dams in Vjosa, during the workshop “Development of energy potentials of Albania”.
