Georgia Capital chairman and CEO Irakli Gilauri said: “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to RP Global for their support in the development of our renewable energy platform to the point where the group’s management team can now successfully take the business forward independently.
“The minority acquisition gives us greater flexibility to execute our planned growth strategy to become a key player in the fast-growing Georgian electricity market.”
