The Shuakhevi project is the largest hydropower plant to be built in Georgia in the last fifty years, which entails project investment exceeding $420 million.  

“It is indeed an important plant as it satisfies Georgia's electricity demand during winter, reducing dependence on imported fuel and increasing renewable energy output. We are grateful to our strategic partners, Clean Energy and IFC InfraVentures, for putting us on a strong footing for this project,” Anil Sardana, chief executive officer and managing director of Tata Power was quoted as saying.
