KfW Funds New High-Voltage Power Line Connecting Armenia and Georgia
What happened
Construction of a new high-voltage power transmission line between Armenia and Georgia is scheduled to begin in 2027. Armenia plans to allocate AMD 69.8 billion, which is slightly more than USD 190 million, from its state budget for the project. The funding is provided under a loan agreement with KfW, which has secured EUR 323.75 million toward the total estimated cost of EUR 542.75 million. The line is intended to ensure uninterrupted electricity flows between the two countries' independent power systems.
