"The project will supply Georgia and Turkey with clean renewable energy to meet the peak electricity demand during winter."

"Alstom will therefore use its technological expertise on this project and will continue to seek new opportunities to challenge the boundaries through technology and innovation," Hardelay said.

Adjaristsqali Georgia, a consortium of Clean Energy Invest, Tata Power and the International Financing Corporation, is developing the Shuakhevi hydropower project. The 178.6MW project is part of one of the largest foreign direct investment projects in Georgia to date.

The project, which is likely to be commissioned in 2016, will supply Georgia and Turkey with clean renewable energy to meet the peak electricity demand during winter.

Adjaristsqali Georgia is likely to develop three hydropower projects (Shuakhevi, Koromkheti and Kertvisi) in the near future with an average annual production of 500GWh to 1,200GWh. Of the three, Shuakhevi is the first project.
