The Shuakhevi Hydro Power Plant (Skuakhevi HPP) is a run-of-the-river plant in Adjara, Georgia. 41°39′27″N 42°20′59″E / 41.6576°N 42.3497°EConstruction on the project began in 2013 and was completed in June 2017.[1] It has an installed capacity of 187 megawatts (251,000 hp) with expected electricity output of 452 gigawatt-hours (1,630 TJ). The plant has the capacity for diurnal storage in two reservoirs[2] (22-metre (72 ft) Skhalta dam with a 19.4-hectare (48-acre) reservoir and 39-metre (128 ft) Didachara dam with a 16.9-hectare (42-acre) reservoir),[3] allowing Shuakhevi HPP to store water for up to 12 hours and sell electricity at peak demand times.[2] Three main tunnels were constructed on the Shuakhevi project; the 5.8 km Chirukhistsqali to Skhalta transfer tunnel, the 9.1 kilometres (5.7 mi) Skhalta to Didachara transfer tunnel and the 17.8 km Shuakhevi headrace and pressure tunnel.[4] It is estimated that the project will cost US$417 million. For the purposes of developing, constructing and operating the Shuakhevi HPP, ADB and EBRD extended a loan to Adjaristsqali Georgia LLC of up to $86.5 million and IFC a loan of 80m USD.[2] Adjaristsqali Georgia LLC is owned by the Norwegian Clean Energy Invest AS (40%), India's Tata Power (40%) and IFC Infraventures (20%), an investment fund created by the International Finance Corporation.[3] Alstom was chosen to supply the electromechanical equipment for the project.[5]
