They signed a contract for installing a solar system on the roof of a church in Tbilisi.
This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to integrating renewable energy solutions within religious institutions, showcasing potential innovations. 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. Known as a musician, organizer, and craftsman, Bareis underscores his approachable nature and practical engagement. His personal experiences, such as fixing stairs in mountain villages, showcase his hands-on approach.

This collaborative effort contributes to the broader goal of fostering a more sustainable and ecologically conscious future for both Georgia and the Southern Caucasus region.
