The production of electrical energy in Albania decreased in the first five months of 2011. According to Albania's Central Bank, the production of electrical energy decreased by 43.9% in this period, mainly as a result of a decrease in production in the country's major hydropower plants.

On the other hand, production of energy from private hydropower plants increased by 10.9% on a yearly basis. The decline in production was also reflected in a decrease in export of energy in 2011 compared to last year, daily Metropol reports.
