Introduction

The Republic of Georgia has one of the largest untapped reserves of hydro-power in the world -- while rapid economic growth is increasing demand for electricity in Georgia and its neighbours.

The government of Georgia has decided that developing some of untapped hydro resources is the cheapest and cleanest way to meet growing electricity demand. The government seeks private sector investors to develop the most prospective greenfield sites, each ranging between 10 - 640 MW, for a total of approximately 1500 MW with 5-6 TWh of annual electricity generation.

The government has hired independent advisors to assess the risks associated with investing in the sector and prepare pre-investment studies for 7 sites. This website presents the results of the due diligence on the sector and the pre investment studies.
