Statkraft created an Albanian company (Devoll Hydropower Sh.A – DHP) and obtained a Concession to develop, build and operate the 240 MW Devoll Hydropower Project in Albania. The development comprised a cascade of two hydropower projects including two large dams, Banjë (90 m) and Moglice (150 m), 20 km of tunnels, an underground and an surface power station. The Banjë dam which was half-built, has been investigated, evaluated and completed as part of the project.
Scope of work
Detailed design stage:
Multiconsult was the sub-consultant of Norconsult. Multiconsult was mainly in charge of the detail design work for the Banjë HPP and for all geotechnical ground investigations upstream Kokel and Moglice HPP.
