Itar-Tass, Russia
Nov 22 2004
TBILISI, November 22 (Itar-Tass) – Member of the RAO UES of Russia
board Andrei Rappoport arrived on a one-day working visit in the
Georgian capital on Monday. He heads the federal network company that
is a daughter company of the energy holding.
“The goal of Rappoport’s visit is to discuss energy supplies to Tbilisi
in the winter period,” a source in the Tbilisi energy distribution
company Telasi told Itar-Tass. RAO UES of Russia owns 75 percent
of the Telasi stock since the summer of 2003. Rappoport will hold a
meeting with Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania.
Telasi provides energy supply to Tbilisi. This company imports energy
from Armenia to Russia in conditions of the energy crisis in the
autumn-winter period. Telasi imports 100 megawatt of energy from
these countries the other day.
The Georgian government and RAO UES of Russia signed a memorandum on
energy supplies to Georgia in autumn and winter this year in Tbilisi
on October 1.
