Company Introduction: Energo-Aragvi was founded in 1998 aiming to produce clean energy by using local river ‘Aragvi. At that time it was planned only to develop SHPP Gudauri. But the future perspective has been extended and additional Projects appeared in the pipeline, such as SHPP ARAGVI 1 and SHPP ARAGVI 2. Environmental issues are taken into account in each of the projects design and implementation phases. The company efforts obey a simple rule: “You cannot build against nature”.
Besides the production of clean renewable energy the project follows sustainable development, reforestation by own tree nursery, hydro grass seeding, river control structures against flood water events and water management by a balance reservoir. In August 2021 the company has won the EU prize for Contemporary Architecture for its second HPP.
