WE GREEN ENERGO prepares the next phase of Sarande’s 80 MW wind project

8 October 2026

WE GREEN ENERGO’s wind measurement services and engineering support for the 80 MW Sarande wind project in southern Albania are scheduled to begin on 1 November 2026. Our immediate focus is on collecting the data needed to refine the project’s technical design and support informed development and financing discussions.

A clearer picture of the wind resource

The programme includes a six-month LiDAR campaign. This laser-based technology measures wind conditions at multiple heights and will complement the site’s existing meteorological mast data.

Our service scope covers site assessment, equipment delivery, installation and commissioning, followed by remote data retrieval, quality checks and a final measurement report. The aim is to provide the project team with a more complete basis for assessing the wind resource and refining energy-yield estimates.

Practical preparation on site

Reliable measurements depend on reliable equipment and power. The engineering scope also addresses lightning protection for the existing measurement mast and a separate solar-and-battery power supply.

These preparations are intended to support continuity of data collection throughout the campaign, bringing measurement planning and site engineering together before further development decisions.

Evaluating an 80 MW configuration

The preferred configuration currently under evaluation comprises ten 8 MW Envision wind turbines. The final turbine configuration will be determined following completion of the wind measurement campaign.

WE GREEN ENERGO will hold a 70% stake in the Sarande project under the agreed 70/30 ownership structure.

WE GREEN ENERGO has received confirmation from a major Austrian bank regarding debt financing for the Sarande project with a tenor of 12–15 years.

For our team, this stage connects site data with practical project decisions: assessing the wind resource, refining the turbine configuration and preparing the technical information needed for the next phase of development.

Equity investors are welcome to join
