In accordance with European regulations that encourage the increase of cross-border capacities, and legal obligations that include system control within the ENTSO-e network, the transmission system operators of Montenegro and Albania, CGES and OST, drafted a proposal for a Memorandum of Understanding, which aims to implement activities on the construction of the 110 kV interconnection Ulcinj – Velipoje and the rehabilitation of existing 220 kV interconnection Podgorica – Vau Dejes. The Eecutive directors of the transmission system operators of Montenegro and Albania, Ivan Asanović and Skerdi Drenova, signed the Memorandum in Tirana.
The construction of the new 110 kV interconnection Ulcinj — Velipoje would enable bidirectional power supply of the Municipality of Ulcinj, while the second, but no less important project, refers to the rehabilitation of the existing 220 kV interconnection Podgorica — Vau Dejes, which is seen as part of the wider picture of increasing the throughput of the complete 220 kV network from Bosnia and Herzegovina (Trebinje) to Albania (Vau Dejes).
