In January 2021, Georgian power plants generated 808 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 22% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (January 2020, the total generation was 1,031 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 2%, 38% and 36% in hydro, thermal and wind power generation, respectively.

On a monthly basis, generation decreased by approximately 13% (in December 2020, total generation was 930 mln. kWh). The monthly decrease in total generation was the result of a 4% reduction in hydro power generation and of a 29% and 28% decrease in thermal and wind power generation, respectively.

In 2020, Georgian power plants generated 11,160 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 6% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (in 2019, total generation was 11,865 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from decrease in hydro (-8%) and thermal power (-1%), more than offsetting the increase in wind power generation (+7%).

Among the different sources of electricity, hydropower remained dominant, despite its decline in absolute and relative terms. Specifically, in 2020, hydropower (HPP) generation amounted to 8,248 mln. kWh (74% of total – used to be above 80%); wind power (WPP) generation was 91 mln. kWh (1% of total), and thermal power (TPP) generation was 2,821 mln. kWh (25% of total).

In December 2020, Georgian power plants generated 930 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents an 8% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (December 2019, the total generation was 1,012 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 19% in hydro power generation, offsetting the 4% annual increases in thermal and wind power generation each.

On a monthly basis, generation increased by approximately 7% (in November 2020, total generation was 865 mln. kWh). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 41% in thermal power generation, while there was a decrease of 1% and 14% in wind and hydro power generation, respectively.
