Davit Narmania, the Chair of the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission, participated in the Global Water Summit 2026, held in Madrid between May 18 and 20, at the invitation of the leading international water company Aqualia.

The summit is recognized as one of the water industry’s leading strategic and networking events, bringing together representatives of governments, regulatory authorities, international organizations, the financial and technology sectors, as well as prominent industry experts from across the globe.

In addition, Davit Narmania held a meeting with Santiago Lafuente, General Director of Aqualia.

The discussion also covered future development plans and long-term investment priorities.

“Since Aqualia, a major international investor with extensive global experience, assumed the management of Georgian Water and Power LLC, significant investments have been directed toward the reconstruction and rehabilitation of outdated water supply infrastructure in Tbilisi, Rustavi, and Mtskheta. Important works have also been undertaken to progressively improve water supply and wastewater management systems. The company is introducing international best practices, advanced methodologies, and modern management standards within Georgia’s water supply sector. Aqualia’s strategic vision and long-term approach provide a solid foundation for the significant improvement of water supply services in Tbilisi, Rustavi, and Mtskheta”, stated Narmania following the meeting with Santiago Lafuente, General Director of Aqualia.
