Part 1 - GEORGIA: On the trail of Norway's hydropower empire
Channel: Ragnar Skre
Date: 2019-09-09

Norway is on a quest to dam the world's rivers, bringing its unique technical know-how to new areas. 

In this series, I follow their trail in the country Georgia, where Norwegians are involved in building the two largest power plants since the end of the Soviet Union. 

In this first part, I look at why hydropower has become increasingly unpopular in Georgia in recent years. 

In the second part of the series, I present new evidence that proves Norway's government directly supported both hydropower projects, and return to the area around the river Rioni and look closer at the planned Namakhvani project and what people think about it.
