Implementation Status and Key Decisions

Component 1 of the Project finances major transmission infrastructure, - double circuit overhead 220kV transmission line (ABT). Segment 2 of the ABT line is completed. Completion of the Segment 1 is delayed. Segment 2 is 52 km long. It connects Batumi high voltage substation with Shuakhevi hydropower station. As Segment 2 is Public Disclosure Authorized completed, the hydropower plant was connected to the national grid and started supply electricity. Segment I is about 93 km long. It connects the Shuakhevi hydropower station with Akhaltsikhe high voltage substation. Out of the three parts of this segment, Parts 1 and 2 are substantially completed. The works have not started on Part 3 because of the contractual issues. Those issues are being resolved and the construction is expected to commence by June 2021.

Component 2 of the Project finances upgrade of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and the preparation of the metering system for the new, day-ahead electricity trading. The SCADA has been upgraded and the readiness of the GSE's metering system for day-ahead electricity trading has been assessed. Component 3 of the Project, Electricity Sector Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment, finances preparation of the Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) of Georgia's electricity sector development scenarios. The preparation of the SESA is being finalized.
