The Namakhvani HPP and Energy Independence
While discussing the benefits of the Namakhvani Hydroelectric Power Plant, represent- atives of government bodies often refer to its importance for bolstering the country’s energy independence. 25 They emphasize the need to raise the number of electricity-gen- erating facilities and reduce the share of imported energy. Members of the government and government-affiliated expert groups argue that the Namakhvani HPP will generate large amounts of electricity and that this would ease the hnancial burden related to im- porting expensive electricity. This is yet another in the set of pompous claims by repre- sentative of the government which are not supported by the contents of the agreement between the investor and the state.
