2020
In July 2020, Georgian power plants generated 1,010 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 4.3% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (July 2019, the total generation was 1,055 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 8.4% in hydro power generation and more than 20% decrease in wind power generation, partially compensated by an increase in thermal power generation. Interestingly, on a yearly basis, thermal power generation increased more than 14 times compared to July 2019.
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 1.1% (in June 2020, total generation was 999 mln. kWh). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase in thermal power generation and wind power generation more than offsetting the decrease of 3.8% in hydro power generation.
The consumption of electricity on the local market was 959 mln. kWh (-13.5% and +6.2% compared to July 2019, and June 2020, respectively) (Figure 1). In July 2020, power generation exceeded consumption by 51 mln. kWh which was 5.1% of total generation (similarly to July 2019, when the difference between total generation and consumption resulted in a shortage of 54 mln. kWh which was around 5.1% of the total generation for the month).

In 2023, Georgian power plants generated 14,396 mln. kWh of electricity, record high generation for a single year. This represents a 1% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2022, total generation was 14,247 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase in hydropower generation (1%) and thermal power (2%), while wind power generation decreased (-2%).

In December 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,166 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 4% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in December 2022, the total generation was 1,116 mln. kWh). The rise in generation on a yearly basis comes from an increase in hydropower generation by 87%, while the generation of thermal and wind power plants decreased by 45% and 16%, respectively.

In November 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,003 mln. kWh of electricity (Figure 1). This represents an 11% decrease in the total generation compared to the previous year (in November 2022, the total generation was 1,131 mln. kWh). The fall in the generation on a yearly basis comes from a decrease in thermal and wind power generation by 27%, and 13%, respectively, while the generation of hydropower plants increased by 1%.
