💧💰 The Georgian Water Power company responsible for the water supply of Tbilisi, Mtskheta and Rustavi has been sold to the Spanish Aqualia alliance.
The completion of the deal was announced in the afternoon of December 31. According to the signed document, 80% of the drinking water production business was sold for $180 million, and the remaining 20% will be sold over the next 3 years and the total amount of the transaction will be $ 225 million. This is one of the largest strategic agreements for Georgia. Spanish Aqualia manages water supply systems in 17 countries and ranks third in Europe in this indicator.
