In January 2018, Georgian power plants generated 1,014 mln. KWh of electricity. This corresponds to a 6% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in January was 955.5 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from increase in wind and hydro power generation (more details below).
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 6% in December 2017 (total generation was 1,080 mln. kWh).
The share of electricity produced by renewable sources increased marginally to 68% of total generation (683 mln kWh), while that of thermal power generation decreased in comparison to December 2017, accounting for 32% of total generation (331 mln. kWh).
In December 2017, Georgian power plants generated 1,080 mln. KWh of electricity. This corresponds to a 9% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2016, total generation in December was 1,186 mln. kWh). The source of a decline in generation on a yearly basis is less thermal power generation (more details below).
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 12% with respect to November 2017 (total generation in November was 968 mln. kWh).
Following the traditional seasonal pattern, the share of electricity produced by renewable sources declined to 64% of total generation (687 mln kWh), while that of thermal power generation increased in comparison to November 2017, accounting for 36% of total generation (393 mln. kWh).
In November 2017, Georgian power plants generated 968 mln. KWh of electricity. This corresponds to a 3% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2017, total generation in November was 998 mln. kWh). The decline in generation on a yearly basis comes from a decline in thermal power generation (more details below).
On a monthly basis, generation increased by 17% in October 2017 (total generation was 828 mln. kWh).
Following the traditional seasonal pattern, the share of electricity produced by renewable sources declined to 69% of total generation (663 mln kWh), while that of thermal power generation increased, accounting for 31% of total generation (304 mln. kWh).
