In November 2020, Georgian power plants generated 865 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 5% decrease in total generation, compared to the previous year (November 2019, the total generation was 913 mln. kWh). The decrease in generation on a yearly basis comes from the decrease of 15% and 8% in thermal and wind power generation, respectively, offsetting the 3% annual increase in hydro power generation.
On a monthly basis, generation increased by approximately 2% (in October 2020, total generation was 852 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly increase in total generation was the result of the increase of 8%, and 5% in hydro and wind power generation, respectively, while there was a decrease of 7% in thermal power generation.
In October 2020, Georgian power plants generated 852 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 6% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in October 2019, the total generation was 800 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 17% in wind power generation and 71% in thermal power generation, more than offsetting the decrease of 17% in hydropower generation.
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 3% (in September 2020, total generation was 877 mln. kWh). The monthly decrease in total generation was the result of the decrease of 24%, and 19% in hydro and wind power generation, respectively, while there was an increase of 56% in thermal power generation.
In September 2020, Georgian power plants generated 877 mln. kWh of electricity. This represents a 7% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (September 2019, the total generation was 821 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 15% in wind power generation, 13% in thermal power generation, and 5% in hydro power generation.
On a monthly basis, generation decreased by 8% (in August 2020, total generation was 949 mln. kWh). The monthly decrease in total generation was the result of the 25.5% decrease in hydropower generation more than offsetting the increase of 162%, and 11% in thermal and wind power generation, respectively.
