George Kekelidze, representing Innovation Energy, expressed support for the project, emphasizing its alignment with the company’s mission to drive positive change through sustainable energy solutions.
Bishop Rolf Bareis, representing the Evangelical Lutheran Church, affirmed a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and the adoption of eco-friendly practices within the church community.
Rolf Bareis, the newly installed bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Georgia and the Southern Caucasus, brings a diverse background to his role.
