Enguri Dam

Enguri Dam
Enguri hydro power station, which was built on the river Enguri, is the most powerful of its kind in South Caucasus, and still remains Europe’s biggest. It produces 5.46 billion KWh of electricity a year on average. Its unique arch dam is built in concrete and steel. It is built on the river Enguri and is located both on territory controlled by Georgia as well as Abkhazian territory, which is currently occupied by Russia. The dam is on the territory of Georgia, while the electric station is on Abkhazian territory. Even though there was a war 20 years ago and ensuing conflict, Georgia and Abkhazia has been able to manage the installation together and no problems have ever arisen. The energy minister says 1.2 billion KWh energy was distributed to Abkhazian territory annually without payment.
