Five solar power plants are set to be connected to the national energy grid for the first time in Georgia’s history, marking a historic step for the country’s renewable energy development. Georgian State Electrosystem reported that the facilities, all located in the Kakheti region, will have a combined capacity of 10 megawatts and will be integrated into the grid in the coming weeks.
Developed under the government’s Contracts for Difference (CFD) framework, the plants were completed in May 2025 and are now undergoing final technical procedures. The projects are backed by private investors LLC “Alazanis Mze” and LLC “Kakhetis Mze.”
Project manager Nugzar Khaindrava confirmed that additional projects are in the pipeline, with over 100 megawatts of solar capacity at various stages of development. “Some of these have already secured government support, while others are in the research or permitting phase,” he said. A 25 MW plant is scheduled to begin construction later this year.
Once operational, the plants are projected to generate approximately 15 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, contributing to Georgia’s energy security.
