30 November 2017

In November 2017, Georgian power plants generated 968 mln. KWh of electricity. This corresponds to a 3% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in November was 998 mln. kWh). The decline in generation on a yearly basis comes from a decline in thermal power generation (more details below).

On a monthly basis, generation increased by 17% in October 2017 (total generation was 828 mln. kWh).

The gap between consumption and generation decreased to 66 mln. kWh - 7% of the amount generated in November 2017 (compared to 121 mln kWh and 15% of total generation in October).
