 In 2005-2006, the Georgian government started to seek investments to continue the Khudoni HPP.The project was revived in 2005, as Mikheil Saakashvili’s government focused on hydropower in an effort to end constant power outages and to make the country a net exporter of energy.Since 2005 World Bank has been involved in the negotiations with the Georgian government regarding the Khudoni HPP and it approved a technical assistance grant of USD 5 million.
