In May 2022, Georgian power plants generated 1,461 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 20% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in May 2021, the total generation was 1,221 mln. kWh). The increase in the generation on a yearly basis comes from a rise of 20% in hydropower generation, respectively, more than offsetting a 9% decline in wind power generation.
