1 Current understanding of vulnerabilities of Albania s power sector (demand and supply sides) to climate risks PhD. Besim Islami Energy Planning Engineer Team Leader of the GHG Inventory Energy Expert on Mitigation and Abatement Team Content Introduction Methodology Mati River catchment s area Present climate Climate impact on water resources Expected climate changes Power sector Current climate impacts in power sector impacts of expected climate changes in power sector Time to adapt: Adaptation measures in power sector 1 2 Methodology selection of the Mati River Catchment (MRCA) as an example area as a priority - is derived from the development of the Alternative scenario for Albanian power sector (from electricity demand and supply point of views). Under the SNC team is working for preparation of the vulnerability of Drin River Catchment Area The current trends of temperature, precipitation and runoff are identified by calculating the seasonal and yearly anomalies from the long-term averages (1961-2) To evaluate the effects of likely changes of climate on temperature increase (on electricity demand) and runoff model was applied (on electricity supply) 3 Methodology LEAP software for Development of the baseline and alternative scenarios for the Albania s power sector The Baseline Scenario - the Government measures in the frame of the Power Policy Statement (PPS) for the shortterm period (till 21) are not rigorously applied. This scenario does not consider the climate change impact to the Albania s power sector. The Alternative Scenario implies the stability of the energy sector development in general and electricity sector, in particular, by rigorously implementing the PPS up to the year 21. The Alternative Scenario describes the additional measures by the year 21 and for a longer - term period: The Scenario provides a quantitative description of the adaptation measures. 4

The world s average surface temperature has increased by around.74 C over the past 1 years (196-25). This figure is higher than the 21 report s 1-year estimate of.6 C due to the recent series of extremely warm years, with 11 of the last 12 years ranking among the 12 warmest years since modern records began around 185. A warming of about.2 C is projected for each of the next two decades (IPCC, 27)
