Albania Launches 110 kV Erseke-Permet Power Transmission Line

Albania launched a power transmissionline on Wednesday linking the towns of Erseke and Permet in the country's south, Albania's transmission system operator OST said.

The 110 kilovolt (kV) line will improve the quality of power supply in southern Albania and, together with other planned investments, will create the necessary infrastructure for development of tourism on the country's Ionian Sea coast, OST said in a statement posted on its website, quoting energy minister Damian Gjiknuri.

The construction of the 56-kilometre line was funded by a loan from the German government through the KfW bank. It is part of a larger project for development of the 110 kV network in southern Albania.
