A new hydroelectric power plant, ‘Kaspi HPP’, will be constructed on the Mtkvari River in Kaspi Municipality. The study on the project’s feasibility has already been published on the environmental assessment portal, with LLC ‘NC 2022, ’ founded in 2022, supervising its development and Gocha Museliani listed as its director. Museliani also leads ‘Imer Energy Capital,’ which is planning a cascade of hydroelectric power plants on the Dzevra River in the Terjola Municipality, Imereti.
The run-of-the-river hydropower plant will have an installed capacity of 22.4 megawatts and is expected to generate approximately 90.2 million kWh of electricity annually. The infrastructure will encompass a dam, a power unit, a fish pass, bank protection walls, and water intake structures.
The scoping report pointed out potential environmental impacts, specifically on the river’s hydrology, fish populations, and the surrounding ecosystem. To have such impacts under control, the project also includes measures such as the construction of a fish pass.
