In October 2018, Georgian power plants generated 783 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 5% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in October was 828 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from and decrease in hydropower (-1%) and thermal power generation (-17%), more than offsetting the increase in WPP generation (+4%).
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 8% (in September 2018, total generation was 849 mln. kWh). The monthly decline in total generation was the result of a reduction in electricity produced by renewable sources (down to 585 mln. kWh -15%with respect to September 2018), offsetting the increase in thermal power generation (198 mln. kWh +23% with respect to September 2018).
In September 2018, Georgian power plants generated 849 mln. KWh of electricity. This represents a 3% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in September was 820 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from an increase in wind power (+18%) and thermal power generation (+50%), more than offsetting the decline in HPP generation (-4%).
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 14% (in August 2018, total generation was 985 mln. kWh). The monthly decline in total generation was the result of a reduction in electricity produced by renewable sources (down to 689 mln kWh - with respect to August 2018), and of the increase of thermal power generation (160 mln. kWh - +7% with respect to August 2018).
In August 2018, Georgian power plants generated 985 mln. KWh of electricity. This represents a 5% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in August was 1,034 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis mainly comes from a decrease in hydropower and wind power generation (more details in the report below).
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 22% (in July 2018, total generation was 1,268 mln. kWh).
The share of electricity produced by renewable sources decreased to 85% of total generation (835 mln kWh), while thermal power generation increased in comparison to July 2018, accounting for 15% of total generation (150 mln. kWh).
