Construction of 220 kV D/C Kheledula -Lajanuri OHL and 220 kV Oni – Lajanuri OHL and Re-routing of existing 110 kV “Moashi” line
On 25 December 2024, a contract was signed between Georgian State Electrosystem JSC (GSE) and the Indian company KEC International Limited for the Construction of 220 kV D/C Kheledula -Lajanuri OHL and 220 kV Oni – Lajanuri OHL.
Georgian State Electrosystem is implementing the project within Energy Network Improvement Programme (ENIP) comprising infrastructural projects all across Georgia.ENIP is an extensive investment programme into Georgia’s transmission infrastructure realized by the partnership between the European Union, GSE and KfW, working as Team Europe.
The total investment of ENIP is EUR 270 Mio, co-financed by KfW on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany and EBRD, including EUR 9.9 Mio grant funding from the EU Neighbourhood Investment Platform (EU NIP) implemented by KfW.
Within the framework of ENIP, infrastructure projects are being implemented across all of Georgia in the regions of Imereti, Guria, Racha, Svaneti and Kakheti. Within the programme, 7 substations and more than 540 km of power transmission lines are being built and expanded. The implementation of the program started in 2021 and it is planned to be completed in 2028. As a result, Georgia will be able to develop a stable, reliable power transmission system, thus ensuring security of the network, facilitating development of tourism, industrial and agricultural activities and business in general, which means more jobs and higher incomes for the people in Georgia.
The project is divided into three components, which include:
- 220 kV Double Circuit (D/C) overhead line from future Kheledula HPP substation to future Lajanuri Substation (34 km);
- 220 kV Double Circuit (D/C) overhead line from future Oni Substation to future Lajanuri Substation (50 km);
- Re-routing of existing 110 kV “Moashi” line.
