The CWE plan would affect the levels of Lake Shkodra. In August 2001, the government suspended the CWE contract for an independent assessment of the plan’s technical, environmental, financial, and economic feasibility by the German engineering firm Lahmeyer International. In 2001 the Export-Import Bank of China (China Exim Bank) pledged to provide buyer's credit worth more than US$100 million for Bushati HPP. CDM project Original currency MDB finance: 159.4 mil. USD The overall volume of €140 million will be borne equally between VERBUND International Finance B.V. and BAWAG PSK Bank für Arbeit und Wirtschaft und Österreichische Postsparkasse Aktiengesellschaft, and the sub-participating banks Raiffeisen Landesbank Oberösterreich Aktiengesellschaft and Kommunalkredit Austria Aktiengesellschaft. The term will be ten years. On July 15, 2013, the Company received a new loan from Raiffeisen Bank International for a sum of 70 million Euro and slammed the debt with Bawag P.S.K Bank for the same amount. New borrowing holds the variable interest rate, currently 3.38%. Borrowing is payable in thirty-five quarterly installments starting on October 15, 2013. On the same date, another borrowing agreement with the same terms and conditions were signed with Verbund International Finance GmbH.

On August 10, 2013 around 600 citizens of Polis and other villages protested against the construction of the second Gur Shpat 2 HPP complaining the project will take away the water supply for subsistance agriculture.

BEG filed law suits against a number of local subcontractors. Capacity: 90 (Ministry). 130 (Bechetti). 108 (Enel). Deutsche Bank funded the works for two years, until 2009, and then left. As a result Kalivac HPP project suffered a blockage in loans that Deutsche Bank had committed to deliver and that forced BEG to refinance the project directly. As of November 2012, BEG paid cca EUR 80,000,000.00 for the realization of the project and amount to about 40% of the total work. BEG sued Deutsche Bank. Lack of employment contracts, salaries and social security has forced workers on the Kalivac HPP to stage protests, supported by the residents of the village on December 7, 2013. According Astrit Dervish, head of the municipality of Krahës, construction of HPP for years has caused problems in the lives of residents. Police arrested four citizens for illegal rally. | https://balkangreenenergynews.com/albania-published-tender-for-hpp-kalivac/ https://invest-in-albania.org/consortium-wins-bid-kalivac-hpp-vjosa-river/ http://www.energjia.gov.al/al/njoftime/deklarata-per-shtyp/shpallja-e-rezultatit-te-procedures-konkurruese-per-ndertimin-e-hec-it-kalivac https://www.kap.org.tr/en/sirket-bilgileri/ozet/872-ayen-enerji-a-s http://open.data.al/opencorporate/agreements/Fituesi_Kalivac.pdf http://www.begspa.com/eng/idroelettrico.htm; http://www.corriere.it/notizie-ultima-ora/Economia/Enel-Beg-Cerroni-Becchetti-chiede-430mln-sentenza-Albania/23-05-2012/1-A_001599062.shtml; http://www.pietrangeli.com/kalivac-gravity-dam-design-hydropower-albania-europe#; http://www.seaconsult.eu/dmdocuments/cv_sea_en_2013.pdf; http://www.news.balkanenergy.com/files/EnergyNews_2007_III_2.pdf; http://www.manliocerroni.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/21giugnorispostabeg.pdf http://www.ilgiornale.it/news/politica/becchetti-litaliano-quante-ombre-sul-re-delle-antenne-1076258.html; http://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/tirana-non-vede-le-inchieste-sberla-di-cerroni-allenel-gli-affari-del-re-delle-discariche-in-albania-passo-avanti-nel-contenzioso-da-430-milioni/; http://www.latuavoce.it/notizie/stampabile.asp?id=51698; http://www.google.cz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CFQQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fvizionplus.al%2Ftepelene-punetoret-ne-proteste-per-pagat%2F&ei=KDLwVJamCISrU92DgLAJ&usg=AFQjCNGiAS_K1QorLFHrJgHqv8F0Wo5Euw&sig2=tCE9qYJ6xwXsuDf8wcgJMw&bvm=bv.87269000,d.d24&cad=rja; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPxb6eCJpj0; http://abkons.com/en/kalivac-green-energy/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Channel to the entrance of the tunnel, tunnel Sasaj, derivation channel were built. Sasaj tunnel 3.5 km in length, the tunnel is cut through the mountain from the Kalasa river to the coastal slopes continuing in a large canal. Sasaj HPP is to improve electricity supply to south coast tourist resorts. It was planned to be multipurpose - combining irrigation with power generation. WB document dated October 2012 notes CEZ Group (100% / Czech Republic) is the project sponsor. With decision No. 11/6 date 10.07.2006 of Urbanism Department of Lukova Commune, has been approved the destination of construction site and the right of way of Sasaj HPP works. Through an Agreement among Lukova Commune, Sasaj village and “ENERGO-SAS” company dated 26.11.2008, the project got a community approval. The residents of Lukjova objected to the establishment of the HPP in the village of Lukove, because the project sponsored by another company intended to exploit the steepness of the slopes and excesss water of Sasaj properties of residents which substantially damaged agricultural lands. Sasaj HPP is different frm the project submitted under the World Bank's Coastal Zone Management project due to the lack of an accord over land ownership. Instead, the project sponsor received unanimous support from Sasaj village community. A petition was carried out by the Lukova inhabitants, addressed to the Albanian and international institutions concerning the proposed hydro-electric plant in Sasaj Village. The World Bank answered that "While the objections raised in respect of this proposal [the HPP] may well be valid, they are not pertinent to the proposed South Coast Planning Regulations. The Consultants have commented on this proposal in the Engineering Report." An agreement was reached between the Concessionaire and Village of Sasaj on 26.11.2008. Also this support is confirmed and in the presence of municipal authorities Lukove, at the meeting of common in the village Sasaj to date. 12.28.2008 (minutes of the meeting tripartite: Community, the Municipal Presidency Lukove and concessionaire) HPP construction in the territory of the village Lukove was not allowed by the villagers. After protracted negotiations, because they could not convince Lukove residents, project sponsor moved the HPP 500 meters west Piqerasi territories. Residents say that there was no transparency. Violations of technical safety regulations caused flooding hundreds of hectares of agricultural lands in the village of Bunecit in 2013. Residents of Lukove seek financial compensation. The mayor of Lukjova villages submitted a lawsuit against owners Bunecit HPP to the Attorney. | http://energjia.al/tag/peruron/; http://gazetatelegraf.com/hec-i-i-bunecit-u-demton-tokat-banoret-denoncojne-ne-prokurori/ů http://km.gov.al/index.php?fq=brenda&m=news&lid=16532&gj=gj2; http://ppi-re.worldbank.org/data/project/energo-sas-sasaj-shpp-7408, http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTALBANIA/Resources/Q&A_Southern_Coast_Development_Plan1.pdf | |||||||||||||
