Tbilisi, Georgia, Dec. 11

By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:

Around 300 megawatts of electric power will be transited from Russia to Turkey through Georgia, Georgian Minister of Energy Kakha Kaladze said Dec. 11.

He said that Georgia obtained this opportunity after the construction of a new 500-kilovolt substation in Akhaltsikhe.

"We negotiated with Azerbaijan to use this possibility," he said. "But at this stage, 300 megawatts are transited from Russia. This is an additional source of income for our country."
