In what<br />

kinds of investments are the foreigners<br />

interested?<br />

Referring to the files of the cross-sectional studies concerning<br />

the investing potentials in the region of <strong>Shkodra</strong>, the foreigners have<br />

paid attention to the following:<br />

Construction of hydropower - stations<br />

The region of <strong>Shkodra</strong> ranks first as far as the hydro-<br />

energetic<br />

reserves are concerned and has drawn the attention of the<br />

forei gn companies to exploit them. Up to now, they have offered to<br />

build one hydropower-station located the fountainhead of Buna river<br />

(according to Mehdi Frasheri’s ideas in 1940), three on Shala river<br />

(Dulcagjin) and one on the deviated Drini river (Bushat). In the<br />

following table we will present the main data.<br />

No H.P.S Power (kW, MW) Production(kW/hr, MW/hr) Building Cost<br />

1 Buna 10.000 kW/hr 50 million kW/hr 15 million USD<br />

2 Dukagjin 2.000 kW/hr 11.000 million kW/hr 2 million USD<br />

3 = 9.000 kW/hr 48.000 million kW/hr 11 million USD<br />

4 = 9.000 kW/hr 49.000 million kW/hr 12 million USD<br />

5 Bushat 2 x 40 MW 350 million kW/hr 160 million USD<br />

Out of all the hydro-energetic centres (HEC) that of Buna<br />

is<br />

to be constructed for the first time in our country since it will be<br />

elevated on a field river. We should pay special attention to the<br />

ecological issues concerning the content of the water and its<br />

movements from the lake to the sea and vice-versa.<br />

In order to defend the fauna the construction of an<br />

appropriate passage (according to the Scandinavian countries’<br />

practice) is indispensable. The production of electric energy<br />
