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.
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 4% (in April 2020, total generation was 944 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 23% in hydro, that offset 3% and 91% decrease in wind and thermal power generation, respectively.

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.
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 9% (in March 2020, total generation was 857 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 12% in hydro, that offset 5% decrease in wind and 3% in thermal power generation.

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.
On a monthly basis, the generation increased by 2% (in February 2020, total generation was 851 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 58% in hydro and 32% in wind more than offsetting the decrease of 62% in thermal power generation.
