Introduction

Albania is at a crucial point of development of its energy sector, which has been seriously neglected over the last years. The settlement at the end of 2014 of the investment dispute with CEZ and the selection of Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) as the pipeline opening the Southern Corridor are two important milestones, which could and should turn into real game-changers. The potential arrival of gas and the abundance of renewable energy make Albania an interesting destination in terms of energy.

In order to take advantage the  sector is and need to a completely rebooted. In this regard referring here briefly only to the most important millstone in act for each sector can be summarise:

-Electricity, June 2015: The new Power Sector Law compliant with the Third Energy Package enters into force.

-Electricity, May 2015: Under the umbrella CAO SEE, daily auctions on Albanian-Montenegro border started successfully on 30th of April for delivery day 1st of May 2015.

- Renewable Energy, March 2015: Albania submitted the Secretariat the Progress Report on the Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC.

- Gas, December 2014: The Ministry of Energy and Industry's Working Group developed draft Gas Law, based on the Secretariat’s initial version.

- Energy Efficiency, December 2014: Secretariat submitted a draft law on energy efficiency of buildings to transpose the Buildings Directive.

- Competition, October 2014: The Albanian Competition Authority (ACA) adopted a Recommendation for increasing competition in the market for procurement of electricity to cover losses in the distribution network

Attracting of the investment is the rationale behind many of the here above measures and actions taken. An implementation that is involving much stronger and better-coordinate efforts from different parties: public companies and governments, IFIs, private investors, the European Commission, as well as the Secretariat.
