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 />
