Implementation Status and Key Decisions

The construction of the first part (Segment II) of main infrastructure, - high voltage transmission has been completed. This segment is about 30% of overall length of the line, it connects Batumi high voltage substation and Shuakhevi hydropower station. The other segment of the line will be completed by the end of 2018. Two out of the three existing high voltage transmission lines Sataphlia and Ajameti, have been rehabilitated and upgraded and rehabilitation of Kolkhida line is ongoing. The preparation of the Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment is ongoing, completion of the assessment is expected by mid 2018. The results achieved to date reflect completion of the Segment II of the transmission line.
