In March 2020, Georgian power plants generated 867 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 11% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in March 2019, the total generation was 974 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 64% in thermal power generation more than offsetting the increase of 30% in hydro and 7% in wind power generation.
On a monthly basis, the generation increased by 2% (in February 2020, total generation was 851 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 58% in hydro and 32% in wind more than offsetting the decrease of 62% in thermal power generation.
The consumption of electricity on the local market was 1,050 mln. kWh (-8% and -7% compared to March 2019, and February 2020, respectively). In March 2020, the total consumption exceeded the total generation by 183 mln. kWh which is around 21% of total generation (in contrast in March 2019 difference between total generation and consumption resulted in a deficit of 164 mln. kWh which was around 17% of the total generation for the month).
In May 2024, Georgian power plants generated 1,411 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 6% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in May 2023, the total generation was 1,325 mln. kWh). The rise in generation on a yearly basis comes from an increase in generation of hydropower plant by 7%, while the generation of thermal and wind plants decreased by 100% and 14%, respectively.
In April 2024, Georgian power plants generated 1,085 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 13% decrease in the total generation compared to the previous year (in April 2023, the total generation was 1,249 mln. kWh). The fall in generation on a yearly basis comes from a decrease in generation of hydro, thermal and wind power plants by 12%, 25% and 10%, respectively.
In March 2024, Georgian power plants generated 1,130 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 11% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in March 2023, the total generation was 1,019 mln. kWh). The rise in generation on a yearly basis comes from an increase in the generation of thermal and wind power plants by 90% and 20%, respectively while hydropower plant generation decreased by 10%.
In February 2024, Georgian power plants generated 1,022 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 3% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in February 2023, the total generation was 987 mln. kWh).
In January 2024, Georgian power plants generated 1,175 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 6% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in January 2023, the total generation was 1,111 mln. kWh).
