Fierza dam, also on the river Drin, but 100km north of the planned Skavica dam

With British taxpayers (via UKEF) underwriting the involvement of US contractor Bechtel in the £600m Albania project, Bechtel is required to put some work to British suppliers (or at least suppliers with a registered office in the UK, regardless of actual domicile).

The 210MW Skavica project involves the construction of a regulating dam on the river Drin in Albania. The project is being developed by the Albanian Power Corporation (KESH), the public producer and supplier of 75% of Albania’s electricity.

Bechtel is looking to meet UK companies that are interested in supporting the execution of the project and have the capabilities within the civil, structural or mechanical engineering and/or construction equipment.

A supplier fair is being held on 20^th and 21^st October 2022 at 1 Great George Street (home of the Institution of Civil Engineers), London SW1P 3AA.
