CLUSTER INDICATORS 2023 HIGHLIGHTS AND NEXT STEPS .2023-12-08-13-48-12.png)
Markets and integration A day-ahead electricity market was launched by the power exchange ALPEX in April 2023. Albania should proceed with the opening of the intraday electricity market along with the transposition and implementation of the Electricity Integration Package as a precondition for market coupling. Albania should implement the certification conditions for Albgaz to make it an operational gas transmission system operator. 
Decarbonising the energy sector Albania revised the Renewables Law and established an operational registry for guarantees of origin for electricity. Albania should adopt the long-term building renovation strategy and complete the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Law. 
Ensuring energy security Emergency state continues to be in force with the latest prolongation until 31 December 2023. Albania should transpose Regulation (EU) 2019/941 on Risk-preparedness in the Electricity Sector and start its implementation with the designation of a competent authority. 
Improving the environment Albania progressed further in the field of nature protection, with the designation of the Vjosa national park, a development that should be expanded to other areas. 
Performance of authorities By approving the electricity market rules and appointing the NEMO, ERE created one of the prerequisites for further market integration in line with the Electricity Integration Package. Following up on REMIT transposition, ERE should closely monitor the electricity market and take enforcement actions, if needed. -
