Okshtuni Hydropower
The Okshtuni Hydropower Plant is a significant project undertaken by Gjoka Konstruksion.
Located in a strategic area in the Dibra district, this project represents a major leap forward in the production of sustainable and enviromentally friendly energy in Albania.
The Okshtuni Hydropower Plant (HPP) plays a pivotal role in demonstrating the contribution of the private sector to the country’s energy supply and showcases the capability of a local company to successfully execute a challenging hydropower project with a dam structure. This project clearly illustrates that a local company can finance, design, construct, and operate a large-scale hydropower plant with success. Notably, it is also home to the first Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dam in the country. In addition to its contribution to the national energy grid, the project plays a crucial role in balancing the reservoir levels, further enhancing its value.
