K-water has implemented 67 projects of high complexity in 24 countries. The company currently manages 16 multipurpose dams and we are very confident that the Nenskra HPP Project will become a success story. We realize the importance of the project for Georgia, as the country has been facing an increasing energy deficit in winter time and, consequently, anincreasing need of energy import.
