12 Power system key figures during last years Albania is a net importer of electricity (20-30% of its demand depending on inflows) and will continue in the near future with such assumption. Exception is made for 2010 with 0.7 TWh of exports and 2016 with small amount of exports. Last year key figures; Imports ~ TWh Demand ~ TWh Generation ~ TWh GWh Production Exchange Consumption 7,750 6,750 5,750 4,750 3,750 2,750 1, (250) 7,610 7,411 6,874 6,636 6,594 6,712 4,343 5,475 3, , A demand decrease in the last 3 years is evident (last year drop was ~4%), mainly due to (i) drastic measures from the Alb. Government to increase collections and efficiency, reduce of non-technical losses as well as (ii) economic situation in the country and (iii) climatic changes. Anyhow previsions are for a small increase of the load for 2017, and 2018.

13 Power system key figures during last 2 years Albania is 100% generation Hydro Generation structure in 2015 Generation structure in 2016 IPP 23% KESH 77% The share of the IPP in the generation structure is increasing year by year.

14 Legal framework and regulatory developments Other very important regulatory acts as a result of the primary legislatin are which set the rules for the establishment and functioning of the PX: Market Rules already prepared and sent for approval, it should have been already in place. Balancing Market Rules under preparation with a TA (ELIA-LDK-E-bridge) financed from IFC. It should be in place by end We are opting for a best European practice in this procces. Certification and membership in ENTSO-e OST has been certified based on the provisions under the new Power Sector Law by the Albanian Regulator on March 15, 2017 being the first TSO to be certified in SEE. Energy Community Secretariat has issued its positive opinion on the Regulatory Preliminary Decision on January On march 30, 2017 OST has become full member of ENTSO-E after its first application in 2004 even the synchronous operation with ENTSO-E dates far in 1985.

15 Main legislative and regulative developments on the PS DAM ERE est. and independence as per PSL Customers Supply liberalization OST certification and membership in ENTSO-e Non-household liberalization Other secondary regulations approved: Market Model approved by the GoA in July, 2016 sets the grounds for the PX as well as stepwise volumes to be traded in the PX. Market rules, which sets the rules of the Operation of the PX, already sent to the regulator for Approval in December Balancing Market Rules under preparation under a Project financed by IFC with the support of a TA and should be in place by beginning of next year.
