In October 2019, a new hydroelectric power station of the energy utility Georgia Water and Power Ltd. (GWP) was officially inaugurated at the Bodorna Reservoir,

… located about 45 km north of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. The operators placed the order for the supply of the complete electromechanical equipment with the hydropower all-rounder GUGLER Water Turbines GmbH from Austria. The small power station was built at a newly created outlet of the reservoir, allowing 32 m³/s of discharge water and a gross drop height of 8.1 m to be used to generate electricity. The project, constructed between October 2017 and November 2018, was completed in approximately 10 months. A horizontal Kaplan turbine in pit design was supplied by the Upper Austrian company as the centrepiece of the new facility. At full capacity, the power package creates a bottleneck output of more than 2.5 MW.
