The Legal Base of a Wind Project
A wind energy project is subject to the conditions defined by Article 32 of the Georgian Law on Energy and Water Supply: the construction, maintenance and operation of electricity generation objects and associated devices, and their connection to the network, must comply with the technical standards and other mandatory conditions established by legislation and by the network rules, including the requirements of environmental protection, public safety and the protection of property. Generation, apart from the cases envisaged by the law, is subject to mandatory licensing. For a wind park this matters acutely: territory scale, turbine siting and connection parameters must all be designed to these requirements. Licensing rests on the Law on Licenses and Permits, the energy law and the Commission's licensing rules, applied together.
