Georgia, Tbilisi, July 18 / Trend N. Kirtzkhalia /
The delegation of the Federal Hydro-Generating Company RusHydro JSC will visit Georgia soon, Georgia's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Kakha Kaladze said at a press-conference on Wednesday.
According to him the representatives of the company have already visited Georgia for several times in order to get acquainted with the projects.
"We introduced them some current and planned projects, however they have not taken any specific decisions yet. In the near future the head of the company will visit the country and we will have a meeting with him. Presumably, we will reach an agreement on specific projects," Kaladze underscored.
Georgian minister also touched upon the issue of electrification of Georgian villages.
Accoring to him the problem of villages not receiving electricity will be solved after a year and a half.
At this stage about 40 villages are not provided with electricity, Kaladze noted. He said that the electricity supply of four villages have been already restored through financing of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Some $400,000 has been spent for this purpose.
"We are the country seeking an EU membership, and currently we have such problems. The electricity supply for the remaining villages will be restored gradually during a year and a half. In total the project will cost $9 million," Kaladze underscored.
According to him, the corresponding works will be activated from October.
