UPDATE from Sept. 26th 3Power Energy Group, Inc
Post# of 487
3Power Energy Group, Inc. (OTC: PSPW) announced today that on 31st August 2017, the Albanian Ministry of Energy granted Shala Energy Plc, 3Power’s Irish subsidiary, the concession for a new 83.45 MW Hydro Power Plant (HPP) on the Shala River.
The Shala River catchment area is of strategic importance to the Albanian Renewable Energy planning. However, in
consideration of difficulties with the previous concession and with the assistance of eminent hydrological consultants and in discussions with the relevant authorities, the new concession avoids the negative environmental impact on any protected area.
Based on extensive detailed hydrological and environment studies, the 83.45 MW HPP (once constructed) is estimated to produce annually 321,465,632 KWH (kilowatt hours) which equals an estimated annual feed in tariff/revenue of approximately 17 million Euro.
The estimated timeframe for the implementation of production is 36 months from start of construction, which is forecast to begin in early 2018. There is, however, no assurance that construction will begin with the target date.
Total investment value is approximately 110 million Euro.
Shala Energy Plc is incorporating a new subsidiary, an Albanian Special Purpose Company (as required by law) to be called “3Power Shala Sh.p.k.”, to design, finance, build and operate the Power Stations. At the same time Shala Energy Sh.p.k., the holder of the former 127 MW concession, will be dissolved.
In addition Shala Energy Plc currently holds options for additional HPPs of a total 84 MW capacity, thus providing the group with a total capacity of 167 MW, requiring an investment volume of 210 million Euro.
The additional concessions are “shovel ready” with permits granted.
Mr. Sharif Rehuman
Chief ExecutiveOfficer and Chief Financial Officer 3Power Energy Group, Inc.
Based on the granting of the various concessions and hydrological feasibility studies, Shala Energy Plc has entered into intensive funding discussions with international EPC and infrastructure financiers including but not limited to well-known Chinese State Companies.
Mr. Sharif Rehuman C.E.O and C.F.O, of 3Power Energy Group Inc, stated: “It has been a long and difficult road to complete economically feasible and viable Hydro Power Studies and to obtain the requisite concessions. But this has now been achieved. We look forward to working with our future strategic, technical and financial partners to construct the plants and to bring them into revenue at an early date.”
