This report presents the findings of the project performance evaluation of the Regional Power Transmission Enhancement Project in Georgia. 
This evaluation was prepared 5 years after the loan closed in May 2017 and 4 years after the project completion report (PCR), which was circulated in May 2018. This allowed enough time to pass for a proper assessment of the project’s effectiveness, progress, and longterm sustainability.

The validation was primarily based on information presented in the CPS final review.
