I would like to thank the World Bank. Project implementation will combine a strong power circle, which will further increase our energy efficiency and sustainability of our country", said Ucha Uchaneishvili, Chairman of the Management Board of GSE.
The project implementation phase will start in 2020, and the completion of works is planned in 2022.
