The Development
In 2004, Favina entered the Energy industry by completing the purchase of Vithkuq HPP, the first Albanian Hydro-Power Plant. Constructed in 1936, this plant had been out of operation since 1990. Favina managed to reconstruct it and put it back into operation. In 2010, the modernisation and upgrade of Vithkuq HPP was completed. In 2011, Favina Co. acquired the concession of HPP Qarr. HPP Kamenica was added to its portfolio in 2019 and in the beginning of 2020 the construction of additional HPPs was completed. These projects were completed with the cooperation of the Austrian Company Voith, which supplied the mechanical equipment such as the turbines, regulators and valves, whilst the Croatian company Sintaksa supplied the electrical equipment and conducted the digitisation of the plants, making them fully operable through the SCADA System.
