# Albania’s KESH seeks electricity offers for late October and early November > The state power corporation published two purchase lots for delivery from 26 October through 1 November. The notice sets volume ceilings and bid rules but leaves the unit price to seller offers. - **Source date:** 2026-10-23 - **Original source:** [Albanian Power Corporation (KESH)](https://www.kesh.al/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/request-for-Offer-purchasing-electricity-23.10.2026.pdf) - **Reading time:** 4 min read - **Language:** English - **URL:** https://voltformer.com/news/albania-kesh-electricity-purchase-58800-mwh-october-2026 - **Markdown:** https://voltformer.com/news/albania-kesh-electricity-purchase-58800-mwh-october-2026.md - **Keywords:** Albania, Electricity, Power procurement, Wholesale market, KESH, Industry assessment ## Two delivery lots in KESH’s request Albanian Power Corporation (KESH) issued a request for offers dated 23 October 2026 for electricity purchases covering 26 October to 1 November. The two lots in the official document have different delivery profiles. Lot 1 seeks up to 58,800 megawatt-hours, with a maximum power quantity of 350 MW and a 24-hour delivery profile over the full period. Lot 2 seeks up to 6,000 MWh, with a maximum of 150 MW and an eight-hour daily profile from 08:00 to 16:00 for 28 October to 1 November. The lots overlap in calendar days but describe distinct delivery blocks, so their volumes should not be added as if they were separate full-period needs. KESH lists the unit price as “provided by the seller”; the notice itself does not state a purchase price or an awarded result.

The notice encourages companies to offer the full quantity required for the delivery period but also accepts offers for smaller quantities. Each participant must submit one price for each lot, and the unit price used for comparison excludes VAT. The document also requires participating sellers to be represented by one independent commercial entity, with a unique legal name, headquarters and legal representatives, citing audit recommendations and prior procedures. Participants must submit the legal and financial documents required under KESH’s trading rules unless they have already filed them. These requirements describe the tender’s stated process and should not be read as evidence that a particular seller qualified or that competition was limited to a known number of bidders. The public document does not disclose offers received.

Offers were due through KESH’s electronic trading platform by 13:30 CET on 23 October and had to remain valid until 15:30 Albanian local time that day. The document says KESH, as buyer, will pay the seller on or before the 60th day after the last day of the delivery period. These clauses matter to suppliers evaluating the short delivery window because submitted volumes are not guaranteed awards and payment follows delivery. The published notice sets procedural terms; it is not a record that any quantity was ultimately purchased or delivered.

It does not explain why KESH sought the electricity, whether domestic generation was unavailable, or how the requested blocks compare with the corporation’s expected supply balance. Those would require operational or market context beyond the request itself. The two lot profiles also caution against treating the maximum MWh values as a single procurement quantity because the shorter lot overlaps the longer delivery period. For market participants, the notice clarifies how offers were to be priced and submitted, while leaving the final purchase decision with KESH. An outcome notice or later trading record would be needed to confirm accepted quantities, prices, counterparties and actual delivery. The procurement request should therefore remain distinct from any claim about imports or system shortages.
