Cooperation with Transmission System Operators of Neighboring Countries
JSC Georgian State Electrosystem actively cooperates with the transmission system operators of neighboring states - Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Republic of Turkey, and the Russian Federation, with whom operating and other technical agreements have been concluded.
With the aim of developing the electricity infrastructure of Azerbaijan and Georgia and increasing further opportunities for energy markets, a strategic cooperation agreement has been concluded between GSE and Azerbaijan's state company Azerenerji.
Between GSE, Armenia's High Voltage Electric Networks (HVEN), and Armenia's Electric Power System Operator (EPSO), cooperation is ongoing within the framework of the construction contract for the 500 kV high-voltage electricity transmission line Marneuli-Ayrum, related to the construction of the new Armenia-Georgia interconnector, which will strengthen cross-border cooperation between Georgia and Armenia.
GSE closely cooperates with Turkey's electricity transmission corporation TEİAŞ, with whom the construction of a new 400 kV cross-border transmission line Akhaltsikhe-Tortum and a direct current insert is planned to begin. After the completion of construction, this electricity transmission line will become the second electricity transmission line connecting the two countries according to modern standards and will increase cross-border capacity volume.
