The 230MW Gardabani combined-cycle thermal power plant in the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia was developed by the Partnership Fund (PF), Georgia’s state-owned shareholding company, and its subsidiary the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation (GOGC). The combined-cycle thermal power plant has the capacity to produce 1.8TWh of energy annually and is the first of its kind in the country. It has the reserve capacity to supply the country’s energy grid for 25 to 30 minutes in the case of a power failure. Construction of the plant began in January 2013 and was commissioned in October 2016. The estimated cost of the project is $230m.
