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%.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2022, Georgian power plants generated 4,193 mln. and 3,359 mln. kWh of electricity, respectively (Figure 1). This represents a +11.4% and -3.5% change in total generation compared to the corresponding periods of the previous year (in 2021, the total generation in Q3 was 3,766 mln. kWh and 3,479 mln. kWh in Q4).

In April 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,249 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 11% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in April 2022, the total generation was 1,125 mln. kWh). The increase in the generation on a yearly basis comes from an increase of 181%, 38%, and 5% in thermal, wind, and hydropower generation, respectively.

On June 2, ReforMeter and the USAID Economic Governance Program hosted yet another public-private dialogue dedicated to assessing progress in capital market development reform.
