In February 2020, Georgian power plants generated 851 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 9% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in February 2019, the total generation was 939 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from a decrease of 13% in hydro, 9% in wind, and 5% in thermal power generation.
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 17% (in January 2020, total generation was 1,031 mln. kWh). The monthly decrease in total generation was the result of a decrease of 28% in thermal, 16% in wind, and 5% in hydropower generation.

In January 2020, Georgian power plants generated 1,031 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 2% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in January 2019, the total generation was 1,011 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 37% in thermal and 36% in wind power generation, more than offsetting the decrease in hydro power generation (-22%).
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 2% (in December 2019, total generation was 1,012 mln. kWh). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of an increase in electricity produced by thermal power plants (+20% with respect to December 2019) and wind power plants (+17% with respect to December 2019) more than offsetting the decrease in hydro power generation (-14% compared to December 2019).

In 2019, Georgian power plants generated 11,865 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 2% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2018, total generation was 12,149 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from decrease in hydropower (-10%), more than offsetting the increase in thermal (+34%) and wind power generation (+0.5%).
Among the different sources of electricity, hydropower remained dominant, despite its decline in absolute and relative terms. Specifically, in 2019, hydropower (HPP) generation amounted to 8,940 mln. kWh (75% of total – used to be above 80%); wind power (WPP) generation was 85 mln. kWh (1% of total), and thermal power (TPP) generation was 2,840 mln. kWh (24% of total) (Figure 2).
