Vjosa, in south Albania, is one of the most renowned rivers in Albania, in terms of the natural heritage and biodiversity values that it sustains.   

The protest of the villagers of Kutë against the hydropower power plant on the Vjosa River in Poçem was successful in the first instance in court in 2017. While the legal battle continues, the "Solar in Kuta" campaign is showing the government that it does not need a hydropower plant and that Kuta can generate its own energy using more environmentally friendly alternatives.
