Albania has enormous potential for energy electric from wind power. Notwithstanding the total licenses distributed throughout the country amounting to approximately 2548 MW with an energy generation potential around 5.7 TWh/year, yet no wind farm projects have been completed, and very few are currently in the pipeline in some way.[6] The coastal lowlands and Southern, Eastern, and Northern Albania mountains are excellent areas for wind turbines. The wind speed is 8–9 m/s in many areas of Albania.[2]
