Adjaristsqali Georgia LLC, a Joint Venture between Tata
Power, Norway's Clean Energy Invest (CEI), and International Financial Corporation (IFC)
has announced the start of commercial operation of the 178 MW Shuakhevi Hydro Power
Project (Shuakhevi HPP) located in southwest Georgia. Further, AGL will be soon
commissioning the 9 MW Skhalta Hydro Power project which is also a component of the
overall Shuakhevi Project scheme.
The project will generate around 450 GWh of clean energy to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by more than 200,000 tonnes a year. The successful completion and start of commercial operations are considered crucial for the integrity, security and energy independence of Georgia. The power generated by the project will be exclusively sold within Georgia throughout the winter which is a period of energy deficit.
