According to him, the Georgian government has developed a new scheme to support the promotion of renewable energy sources, which will help attract investment and develop domestic generation, which will ultimately affect the power of the country.
βIn addition to supporting renewable energy sources, we are looking at the potential of a larger connection to the EU called the Black Sea Underwater Power Cable. It should be emphasized that the constant availability of energy resources at an affordable price will lead to energy security. This will further strengthen Georgia’s role in the region. We firmly believe that with the support of renewable energy sources, we will be able to offer more energy resources, greater energy security to our country and region, as well as to the European Union,β the Deputy Minister said.
The Akhalkalaki HPP, with an installed capacity of 9.1 MW, is the largest hydroelectric power plant commissioned in Georgia in 2022. US$26 million was invested in the HPP cascade, and about 100 local residents were employed during the construction process.
