In the first and the second quarters of 2021, Georgian power plants generated 2,429 mln. and 2,708 mln. kWh of electricity, respectively (Figure 1). This represents a 16.0% and 3.2% decrease in total generation compared to the corresponding periods of the previous year (in 2020, the total generation in Q1 was 2,893 mln. kWh and in Q2 it was 2,797 mln. kWh).

In December 2021, Georgian power plants generated 1193 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 28% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in December 2020, the total generation was 930 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 55% and 4% in hydro power, and thermal power generation, respectively. Meanwhile, there was a 29% decrease in wind power generation.

In November 2021, Georgian power plants generated 1186 mln. kWh of electricity (Figure 1). This represents a 37% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in November 2020, the total generation was 865 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 44% and 27% in hydro power, and thermal power generation, respectively.

In October 2021, Georgian power plants generated 1192 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 40% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in October 2020, the total generation was 852 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 104% and 43% in hydropower, and wind power generation, respectively.

In September 2021, Georgian power plants generated 1101 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 26% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in September 2020, the total generation was 877 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 49% in hydro power generation. Meanwhile, there was a 37% and 15% decrease in thermal power and wind power generation, respectively.
