In Georgia, a new law on “Water Resources Management" has been drafted, which involves significant and complex legislative changes. The country will have a new, unified system of managing water resources based on international approaches after the proposed law is implemented, satisfying the requirements set forth in the Association Agreement (AA) concluded with the European Union (EU).

In March 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,019 mln. kWh of electricity (Figure 1). This represents a 5% decrease in the total generation compared to the previous year (in March 2022, the total generation was 1,077 mln. kWh). The decrease in the generation on a yearly basis comes from a fall of 58% in thermal and 2% in wind power, while hydropower generation increased by 41%.

The increasing proportion of renewable energy in the world’s overall energy supply indicates the growing popularity of renewable energy globally. From 2010 to 2021, this percentage rose from 3.2% to 5.2%, while modern bioenergy increased from 5.7% to 6.7%.

In February 2023, Georgian power plants generated 987 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 11% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in February 2022, the total generation was 890 mln. kWh).

In January 2023, Georgian power plants generated 1,111 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 8% increase in the total generation compared to the previous year (in January 2022, the total generation was 1,025 mln. kWh).
