Electricity Market Review
The electricity sector is one of the milestones of the energy sector of Georgia. It is a sector in expansion. Electricity generation - relying mostly on Hydro Power Plants - has been increasing over the years, although not always at a rate sufficient to match demand increase, driven by rising econom
ic activity, vehicle electrification, and increased blockchain mining activities. Developed in 2017, the Electricity Market Review analyses the main trends and key events in Georgia's electricity market. It also monitors the consequences of all the changes in the electricity sector, including market liberalization and the introduction of incentive schemes for renewable energy.

July 2020 | Electricity Market Review
27 August 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.

June 2020 | Electricity Market Review
28 July 2020

In June 2020, Georgian power plants generated 999 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 16.6% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (June 2019, the total generation was 1,198 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 16% in hydro power generation and more than seven-fold decrease in thermal power generation offsetting an increase in wind power generation (+21% compared to June 2019), which remains however below 1% of total generation.

May 2020 | Electricity Market Review
23 June 2020

In May 2020, Georgian power plants generated 986 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 15% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (May 2019, the total generation was 1,156 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 16% in hydropower generation more than offsetting an increase in thermal and wind power generation, high in percentage terms (+34% and + 500%, respectively) but low in absolute terms.

April 2020 | Electricity Market Review
27 May 2020

In April 2020, Georgian power plants generated 944 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 2% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (April 2019, the total generation was 966 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 6% in thermal and 2% in hydro power generation. Interestingly, on a yearly basis, wind power generation increased by remarkable 23% compared to April 2019.

March 2020 | Electricity Market Review
21 April 2020

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.
