In 2018, Georgian power plants generated 12 154 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 5% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation was 11 531 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from increase in hydropower (9%), more than offsetting the decrease in thermal (-5%) and wind power generation (-4%).

Among the different sources of electricity, hydropower consolidated its dominance. Specifically, in 2018, hydropower (HPP) generation amounted to 9949 mln. kWh (82% of total); wind power (WPP) generation was 84 mln. kWh (1% of total), and thermal power (TPP) generation was 2115 mln. kWh (17% of total).

In December 2018, Georgian power plants generated 986 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 9% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in December was 1080 mln. kWh. The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from decrease in thermal power (-30%), more than offsetting the increase in hydro (+3%) and wind power generation (+11%).

On a monthly basis, generation increased by 10% (in November 2018, total generation was 900 mln. kWh). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of an increase in electricity produced by hydro power generation (up to 705 mln. kWh, which represents +25% with respect to November 2018), while there was a decrease in generation of wind and thermal power (-4% and -17% with respect to November 2018 respectively).

In November 2018, Georgian power plants generated 900 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 7% decrease in total generati on, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in November was 968 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from decrease in hydropower (-15%), more than offsetting the increase in thermal power generation (9%) and in WPP generation (+33%).

On a monthly basis, generation increased by 15% (in October 2018, total generation was 783 mln. kWh). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of an increase in electricity produced by thermal power generation (up to 331 mln. kWh +67% with respect to October 2018), while there was a decrease in generation of renewable sources (570 mln. kWh -3%with respect to October 2018).
