Today on August 31, the village of Shenako in Tusheti (Georgia) will see the opening of a small scale hydropower plant. As the attorney of the local government agency of Omalo-Tusheti Telan Ichirauli told the Information Center the hydropower plant is to produce electricity for about 60 households which live in Shenako.
The villages of Tusheti have been deprived of the electricity supply as a result of the 85-kilometer power transmission line damage in 1998.
The organization Winrock Georgia with financial support from USAID and other organizations started the construction of a hydropower plant in 2007. The total cost of the project made up 357.376 lari.
