One of the main priorities of the country’s energy policy is the development of energy infrastructure and maximal development of country’s hydro power potential. Implementation of the above will significantly reduce the dependence on energy import and help to improve energy safety. Georgia, given its geopolitical location, can play significant part at a regional level through the construction of transmission lines with which we may not only reduce the dependence on energy carriers but become a power exporting country.

Number of activities aimed at achieving the above objectives were conducted in Georgian energy sector in 2009.
