Shaori and Tkibuli, the two lakes that provide water for the Shaori-Tkibuli Cascade of hydropower plants, are located in the heart of unspoiled mountain nature.
Lake Shaori is the largest natural reservoir in the Racha-Lechkhumi and Svaneti Region. It is located at 1,124.74 metres above sea level near the village of Khorga. The length of the lake is 7.10 km; the distance between its shores is 2.70 km at its widest part, and the depth of the lake is 14.50 m. The water area of the lake is 9.20 sq.km.
Both lakes are set in beautiful landscape. They are surrounded by pine woods and alpine meadows that radiate in colour every season of the year. The pure water provides the opportunity to relax; it is an angler’s paradise.
The Shaori-Tkibuli Cascade consists of two hydropower plants with a total installed capacity of 120.32 MW. It has been operating since 1956. ENERGO-PRO acquired the cascade in 2007.
