Tbilisi, February 26 (Xinhua) — Georgia's state-owned company Georgian State Electricity System and the Italian consulting company CESI signed an agreement to prepare tender documentation for a technical and geophysical survey of the seabed as part of the Black Sea submarine energy cable project. This was announced on Thursday by the Georgian Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development.
As Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Inga Pkhaladze emphasized, the agreement provides for the definition of a precise list of tender works, after which an international tender will be announced to select the company that will conduct the relevant research in the Black Sea.
"The project to build a submarine cable between Georgia and Romania is aimed at developing electricity trade, as well as ensuring the transit, import, and export of electricity between Georgia and European countries," noted I. Pkhaladze.
All preparatory work for the Black Sea submarine cable project, including seabed exploration, geophysical surveys, and obtaining the necessary licenses and permits, is scheduled for completion by 2029. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in 2032.
In December 2022, the governments of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania, and Hungary signed an agreement to lay a cable along the bottom of the Black Sea, which will carry electricity from Georgia and Azerbaijan to Europe.
