Rustavi Solar Power Plant

The project will help enhance independence and security of the energy sector in the country. The installed capacity of the power plant is 9.9 MW, which means about 16.859 million kWh additional production of electricity per year. According to 2021 data, the electricity generated by the solar power plant will be equivalent to ~ 0.87 % of the country’s average annual import.

In general, the development of new energy power resources in the country is critically important for the sustainable development of the country, and therefore for the social welfare.

The implementation of the project will help attract foreign direct investment in the country, create new jobs and mobilize additional funds in the state budget. With this project, the investment of about $ 6.11 million is planned to be made in the renewable energy sector. In addition, indirect positive impact in the form of promoting economic growth and positive impact on the environment should be considered. During the project operation period (25 years), approximately $ 61 000 in the form of property taxes will be transferred to the local budget annually.
