The complaint was submitted to CAO in February 2018 by 17 residents of the Rabati District of the Makhalakidzeebi village, Shuakhevi Municipality, Adjara. The Complainants claim that construction activities related to the Shuakhevi power plant have had a negative impact on their lives, causing an increase in risk of rockfalls and landslides, a decrease in groundwater levels, as well as negative impacts on the biodiversity of the Adjaristsqali river, including the disappearance of local fish species. They allege that AGL failed to properly address the geological and social risks linked to the project, and failed to comply with an agreement entered into in 2014 with the Government of Adjara and the village residents, to provide compensation in case of damages caused by the construction.
