Frequently asked questions
Is it better to buy the plant or the project company in Georgia?
For operating plants a share deal is usually simpler, because licences, the environmental decision, the revenue contract and the grid agreement stay in the company. An asset deal gives a cleaner break from past liabilities but needs permits and contracts transferred.
Is VAT charged on the sale of a power plant in Georgia?
Share transfers are generally exempt from VAT, while asset sales can attract VAT at 18%. Confirm the treatment for your deal with a tax adviser.
How long does a power plant transaction take?
Typically 8–16 weeks from term sheet to closing for a straightforward deal, longer if lender consents, regulatory approvals or permit transfers are needed.
Do you act for sellers as well as buyers?
Yes. For sellers we prepare the asset for sale, organise the data room and run the process with qualified buyers.
