The Shuakhevi Hydro Power Plant is a run-of-the-river plant in Adjara, Georgia. Construction on the project began in 2013 and was completed in June 2017. It has an installed capacity of 187 megawatts (251,000 hp) with expected electricity output of 452 gigawatt-hours (1,630 TJ). The plant has the capacity for diurnal storage in two reservoirs, allowing Shuakhevi HPP to store water for up to 12 hours and sell electricity at peak demand times. Three main tunnels were constructed on the Shuakhevi project; the 5.8 km Chirukhistsqali to Skhalta transfer tunnel, the 9.1 kilometres (5.7 mi) Skhalta to Didachara transfer tunnel and the 17.8 km Shuakhevi headrace and pressure tunnel. It is estimated that the project will cost US$417 million. For the purposes of developing, constructing and operating the Shuakhevi HPP, ADB and EBRD extended a loan to Adjaristsqali Georgia LLC of up to $86.5 million and IFC a loan of 80m USD. Adjaristsqali Georgia LLC is owned by the Norwegian Clean Energy Invest AS (40%), India's Tata Power (40%) and IFC Infraventures (20%), an investment fund created by the International Finance Corporation. Alstom was chosen to supply the electromechanical equipment for the project.
