An electrical substation in Georgia’s Imereti region has been completely rehabilitated to protect the electricity supply for people living in different parts of the region.
The most important project for Georgia’s energy sector, the reconstruction of 220 kV and a transmission line existing in parallel to the 500 kV transmission line Imereti has been successfully completed”, announced the Georgian State Electrosystem today.
Within the project several transmission lines were reconstructed, while several new ones were built.
A new energy chain was created between substations Kutaisi – 220 and Zestaponi – 500 which will be able to reserve 80-90 percent of electricity in case the 500 kV transmission line Imereti is off,” said the Georgian State Electrosystem.
Germany is supporting Georgia in expanding its power network and modernising the infrastructure by providing €125 million in concession credit.
People living in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi and in the country’s Kvemo Kartli region will now enjoy a more reliable electricity supply thanks to the new Marneuli 500kV substation, which was officially opened today.
An electrical substation in Georgia’s capital is being completely rehabilitated to protect the electricity supply to people living in the outskirts of Tbilisi.
Using Georgia to transit electricity between other countries in the region is a "historic event in Georgia’s energy sector”.
The European Union (EU) is providing €9.9 million grant to provide grid infrastructure for promotion of net integration of hydropower plants, increase transmission capacities, including cross-border trade and improve security of energy supply of Georgia.
