Enhancing Energy Security through Power Interconnection and Renewable Energy Program

The objective of the Enhancing Energy Security through Power Interconnection and Renewable Energy Program as First Phase of a Multi-Phase Programmatic Approach (MPA) is to enhance the implementation readiness of the Black Sea Submarine Cable (BSSC) Project. There are two components to the project, the first component being black sea seabed surveys. This component would finance (a) the surveys of the Black Sea seabed (seabed surveys), (b) the supervision of the two studies, and (c) capacity building and knowledge transfer to support GSE and the Government of Georgia in designing, procuring, and executing them.
