The Government of Georgia is actively progressing on a comprehensive 10-year action plan aligned with the country`s Energy Strategy, this plan envisages the development of electricity generation infrastructure, including hydropower, solar, and wind power plants across the nation. Such a statement made the Deputy Minister of Economy.

"Within the framework of our energy policy, we are very intensively considering the construction of significant, strategic hydropower plants that will fully meet the country`s domestic needs, nearly eliminate the necessity for imports, and enhance our electricity export potential, including to European markets via the Black Sea submarine cable.

A great deal of work is required to restore and extend the grid. It must be capable of accommodating and transmitting new generation capacity, which we anticipate will be added over the next four to five years. We are devising plans for grid expansion, renovation, and the refinement of licences and memorandums essential for synchronised operation.

The energy policy currently under development at the Ministry of Economy is directly geared towards fostering the country`s economic growth and integrating Georgia into a seamless, prosperous electricity market with neighbouring and European nations", - said Inga Pkhaladze.
