A solar power plant has been installed in central Georgia’s Gori municipality to provide free-of-charge electricity to internally displaced persons in two villages in Georgia, with Lithuania’s Environment Ministry funding the initiative.
Local media reports said the plant was expected to provide “free, ecologically clean and safe” electricity for families displaced from Georgia’s Russia-occupied regions, who now lived in Sakasheti and Skra villages in the municipality.
Lithuanian Ambassador Andrius Kalindra visited the plant, the construction of which was funded by the Environmental Project Management Agency of the Lithuanian Ministry, with a total cost of over GEL 1 million (about $356,000 or EUR 350,000).
Solar panels and other necessary materials for setting up the plant were brought from Lithuania in January, with construction works starting in May and involving the Georgia-based company Solar House. (Agenda/Business World Magazine)
