They are 88% more efficient than traditional light bulbs and could save equivalent to the annual output of one nuclear power plant. ↓

The Black Sea electric cable is a new transmission route full of opportunities.
It could integrate Georgia to our electricity market and bring electricity to our neighbours in the Western Balkans, Moldova and of course Ukraine.
