Georgia Advances Renewable Energy with Approval of Two Solar Projects in Kakheti

The Georgian government has approved feasibility studies for two new solar power plants in Kakheti, marking another step in the country's strategy to boost its renewable energy capacity.

Decree signed by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze shows that the projects, Patardzeuli 1 and Patardzeuli 2, will be developed under an agreement between the Electricity System Commercial Operator (ESCO) and Kakheti Sun LLC, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.
