Enka Renewables has issued a statement regarding the GEL 5,000-fine based on a lawsuit filed by the Department of Environmental Supervision. The company explains that it has operated within the authority granted to it by the permits.

According to Enka Renewables, although they disagree with the lawsuit, the company does not intend to appeal the court decision.

The Tskaltubo Magistrate Court upheld the lawsuit of the Environmental Supervision Department against Enka Renewables and fined the company GEL 5,000.

The Georgian government and ENKA Renewables Ltd signed a perpetual build-own-operate agreement back in 2019. ENKA has been awarded the rights to develop, construct, own and operate the Namakhvani HPP Cascade Project in Georgia.

The protest against Namakhvani HPP construction has been underway in western Georgia. Earlier, the Georgian government announced that the construction of the Namakhvani hydropower plant (HPP) would be suspended for 9 to 12 months until the environmental, geological, and seismological surveys are reviewed.
