The Project

ESB International was appointed as a consultant to take management control of the state-owned organisation GSE to minimise revenue losses and improve staff capabilities.  

After 5 years, GSE was turned into a profitable entity in a functioning market with good prospects.

Our Approach

  • The Challenge

    Improve billing and reduce system losses which exceeded 15%.

  • The Solution

    Facilitate improvement of the billing system and install a new metering system to improve bill processing for customers. Introduce Debtor Management policies to recover bad debt, and to allow customers with large arrears to pay off their electricity debts.

What we delivered

We installed advanced metering architecture on each feeder which supplied the distribution companies in Georgia. Therefore, distribution companies could link metering data in real-time to the Tbilisi based central billing system, and issue bills seamlessly.
