What does the energy sector demand?

"CFD tariffs should be increased by 20-25% to provide incentives to investors" - what is the energy sector demanding? As Giorgi Mirtskhulava, Managing Director of the energy infrastructure construction company "Bemon", told BMG, the construction of generation facilities has recently become significantly more expensive. Accordingly, it is not excluded that in some cases investors will have difficulty constructing energy facilities at the current tariffs.

Therefore, Mirtskhulava believes that the average median tariffs, which were within the range of 5.5-6.6 cents depending on the different generation facilities, should be adjusted by 20-25%.

"We can say that over the last three years, there has been an increase of about 30% or more in the cost of construction. Conditionally, if building 1 megawatt in hydropower cost 1.2-1.5 million dollars, now it can be even 2-2.5 million dollars."

This is a project that is very important for our country, to build as many energy facilities as possible, which will ensure our country's aspiration to be energy independent, energy-sufficient, and no longer need to import. This is a very big challenge.
