In May 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,325 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 9% decrease in the total generation compared to the previous year (in May 2022, the total generation was 1,461 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from a fall of 9% in Hydro and 6% in wind power, while thermal power generation increased by 89%.
On a monthly basis, the generation increased by approximately 6% (in April 2023, the total generation was 1,249 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly rise in total generation is induced by a 15% increase in hydropower generation, while thermal and wind power generation decreased by 99% and 14%, respectively.
The consumption of electricity on the local market was 1,030 mln. kWh (-11% compared to May 2022, and -1% compared to April 2023) (Figure 1). In May 2023, power generation exceeded consumption by 295 mln. kWh which was 22% of the total generation and 29% of the total consumption (in May 2022, the difference between the total generation and the consumption resulted in a surplus of 307 mln. kWh, around 21% of the total generation and 27% of the total consumption 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).
