The problem could not yet be solved in the mountainous regions of Khulo, Shuakhevi, and Keda of Adjara, Western Georgia. The snow cover is still high there, so the workers cannot reach some locations.

"First of all, we repaired the line through which we receive electricity from Turkey. I would like to say a thank to the Turkish government and my Turkish counterpart, the Georgian Energy Minister said.

Kaladze said that all brigades and equipment are mobilized and ready to go to Adjaras problematic villages Khulo, Shuakhevi and Keda, as soon as possible. He supposes that it will take 10 days to solve the electricity problems in these villages. As for the rest of the country, 24-hour power supply has already been restored there.
