Future of energy depends on building regional connections - Green Energy Corridor lays foundation for safer future l Minister of Economy
“For Georgia, the Green Energy Corridor is not merely an infrastructure project, but a long-term investment in regional cooperation, energy security, and sustainable economic development,” stated Mariam Kvrivishvili, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, during her address at the 12th Ministerial Meeting under the framework of the Agreement on a Strategic Partnership in the Field of Green Energy Development and Transmission.
Kvrivishvili noted that the Green Energy Corridor represents a strategic initiative that will strengthen regional energy ties, facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, and contribute to the region’s collective transition towards clean energy.
“The future of energy will increasingly depend on our ability to build new, reliable connections between regions. Initiatives of this nature lay the foundation for a more secure, interconnected, and sustainable energy future. By establishing new routes for clean electricity, we are fortifying energy security and promoting market integration. Consequently, the Green Energy Corridor is an investment not only in today’s energy systems, but in the resilience and prosperity of future generations,” the Minister has said.
Mariam Kvrivishvili highlighted that Georgia highly values the close cooperation established among the four participating nations and expressed her gratitude to international financial partners for their constructive engagement.
“Georgia’s ambition is to contribute to this initiative not only through its strategic geographical location, but also through the growing development of its own renewable energy resources,” Kvrivishvili added.
At the ongoing ministerial summit in Baku, government representatives from the signatory nations, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary, are reviewing the feasibility study for the Green Energy Corridor project and formulating a detailed action plan to outline its next phases. The Georgian delegation also includes Deputy Ministers of Economy and Sustainable Development, Inga Pkhaladze and Genadi Arveladze, alongside Zviad Gachechiladze, a member of the Board of Directors at the Georgian State Electrosystem.

Anaklia Deep Sea Port will be built with direct state involvement to best protect national interests - Georgian PM

The Anaklia Deep Sea Port was initially planned to be developed with a single strategic partner, but the approach has changed and the port will now be built with the direct involvement of the state, said on Friday Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
In his remarks, Kobakhidze noted that the new model is the ideal approach, as it ensures the maximum protection of Georgia’s national interests while allowing for a diverse range of international partners.
“I would like to thank the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development and the Minister. It was very important to continue this project under this approach. As you know, the Anaklia Deep Sea Port was previously planned to be developed with one specific partner. Now the approach has changed, and the port will be built with the direct involvement of the state”, he said.
“The state will oversee the entire process, and once construction is completed, the operation of the port may be entrusted to several operators, while ownership of the port will remain with the state. This is the ideal model, as it ensures the maximum protection of our national interests and also guarantees the diversification of partners. This is crucial for attracting the highest possible cargo volumes to the Anaklia Port and for ensuring its most efficient operation”, Kobakhidze concluded.
The Anaklia Deep Sea Port will be developed under the internationally recognized landlord port model, under which the state will finance and build the core infrastructure and retain 100% ownership of the port’s primary maritime and port infrastructure.
At the same time, the specialized terminals within the port will be leased on a long-term basis to international operators and investors.
