Popis: Despite significant achievements in energy development in Georgia, the issue of energy independence is still relevant. The electricity produced in the country cannot meet the growing demands. In addition, Georgia has energy potential, which is not yet fully harnessed, in particular, in terms of hydropower resources. Based on existing studies, only 20–22 % of the hydropower potential is currently harnessed in the country. For a country like Georgia, it is promising to develop hydro resources of small river to generate electricity and partially meet local needs.
