About Us
Enable transparent, bankable energy investment into Georgia.
Our Story
Caucasus Energy Partners was founded in 2020 in Tbilisi, Georgia, with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between international investors and the exceptional renewable energy opportunities in the Caucasus region.
Our team brings together expertise from leading international corporations and deep local market knowledge. Our founders and advisors have previously worked with and delivered projects for organizations including BP, McDonald's, Mercedes-Benz, and major infrastructure projects like the Namakhvani HPP development.
We also invest our own capital: in September 2026 we completed a 2.5 MW solar portfolio in Tbilisi, five 500 kW plants built with Shine Energy as EPC contractor and financed by TBC Bank. This combination of international standards, hands-on development experience and local execution makes us a practical partner for investors in Georgian solar, hydropower and other renewable energy assets.
