Welcome to HPP Ashta
Until 2012, the project company “Energji Ashta” – a 50/50 joint venture between Verbund and EVN is constructing a world innovation in Albania: the largest matrix power plant using small turbines. Hydropower plant Ashtas is erected in northern Albania, close to Shkoder, the country’s fourth-largest town.
In the process, innovative measures are being taken on the River Drin: Hydro-Matrix technology (a small turbine the size of a telephone box) enables an especially efficient utilization of water. In future, 240 million kWh of electricity will be produced in Ashta. In this way, 100,000 Albanian households can be supplied with electricity.
This website provides an overview of project Ashta with the latest project news.
