The river originates on elevation of 2915 m above the sea level and is nourished by glaciers, snow, rain, and ground waters.

In the close proximity with the HPP powerhouse, the headrace tunnel will branch into three separate penstocks to connect to the turbines.

The dam will be raised about 5 km off the village of Tita up the narrow gorge of the Nenskra river creating a live storage of 3,176 million m3.

The power unit will include the HPP powerhouse, tailrace for discharged water and GIS substation.

The dam will operate in the natural regime of the river through a bottom outlet to keep the water at the level of 1 370 m. In 2015, the Nenskra Hydropower Project submitted the final Environmental & Social Impact Assessment Report (ESIA) to the Government of Georgia (GoG) as part of the national environmental permitting process.

To ensure compliance with their Environmental and Social (E&S) policies, the Lenders recommended that a number of Supplementary E&S Studies be undertaken.

In 2017 the supplementary studies-based report consisting of ten volumes was disclosed to the general public.

[5] Based on the research made JSC Nenskra Hydro has prepared The Environmental and Social Impact management Plan.

The plan aims at implementing mitigation measures during the construction and operation in compliance with Georgian legislative requirements and international standards.

[7] The Nenskra HPP Project will create jobs for the local population both during the construction and operation.

With the study findings and needs of the population in view, the project company launched a community investment program with the following goals: Some 400 families live in close by villages (Chuberi and Nakra).

The majority are Svans, an ethnic subgroup of Georgia's Caucasus mountains with their own language, laws and traditions.

For generations, they have lived in isolation and self-dependence and their livelihoods depend on forestry, grazing and subsistence agriculture.

The company has announced "international tender" to select Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contractor.

Independent International Panel of Experts (IPOE) is monitoring all designs and activities, to ensure dam safety and its compliance with the environmental and social standards.
