In the month of May of this year, a ceremonial event is planned on the Georgia-Azerbaijan border. In this regard, we have received an order from the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia for the construction of a new, double-chain 330 kV power transmission line “1.2 Gardabani” (S/S “Gardabani-500” – S/S “Agstafa”) in the border section of Georgia-Azerbaijan on May 1, 2020 In connection with the connection to Dekada, for which a two-chain, 330 kV Egkh “1.2 transfer” two, N62 and N63 masts should be installed in the area surrounding the Red Bridge in the village of Kapanakhchi, and 12 tips of АС 300/67 type wire should be stretched from the N63 mast to a two-chain, 330 kV Egkh “1” “2 Gardabani” on the N158 mast located in the border zone on the territory of Azerbaijan. The length of Mali from the N63 tower located in the territory of Georgia to the N158 tower located in the territory of Azerbaijan is 460 m.
