Obsolete SHPP

The productivity and the reliability of said SHPPs are substantially reduced due to age and long-term exploitation.

– Some of these SHPPs need to be reconstructed and modernized, which will lead to an increase in the annual production of electricity and extend their lifespan for another 40 years – the documentation reads.

It is also said that some of the SHPPs have a historical importance and that they are a cultural good.

A loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the investor's own funds, have been provided for these works.
