Infinite Energy, a Georgian subsidiary of Chinese state-owned Sichuan Energy Development, plans to build a 100 MW wind power plant in Georgia’s Imereti region. The 17-turbine project will be located in the villages of Khvani, Chalovani and Korbouli, in the municipalities of Sachkhere and Chiatura.
The project, named Imereti 1, also includes the construction of a new 500 kV substation to connect the plant to Georgia’s electricity transmission network. The investor plans to transfer ownership of the substation to Georgian State Electrosystem after construction. The project was discussed at a meeting between company representatives and the head of Georgian State Electrosystem, David Vardiashvili.
Infinite Energy is 100% owned by Sichuan Energy Development Group, a major Chinese state-owned energy company with total assets estimated at approximately $60 billion.
Georgia’s wind energy sector is expanding, with around 10 additional wind power projects at various stages of development. Recent projects include the 206 MW Ruisi wind farm, the 18.8 MW Kaspi wind plant and Vento Energy’s 43 MW Breti project, reflecting growing investment from Georgian, Chinese, Turkish and German companies.
