Overview

The assignment covered schemes in the upper Devoll, Strelca, Dunica, Dragostun, Zalli i Xhuxhes, Shëngjini and Germani catchments.

All plants were conceived as run-of-river systems without flow regulation, requiring careful integration of intake, conveyance, generation and grid-connection structures.

Services & scope

  • Intake dams and sedimentation systems
  • Pressure basins and headrace penstocks
  • Powerhouse and turbine integration
  • Transmission-line connections to substations
