In 5M26, local electricity consumption in Georgia increased by 6.1% y/y to 6.2 TWh. The share of imports and thermal generation in total supply stood at 36.3%, compared to 31.1% in 5M25- Galt&Taggart review reads.
Higher import dependence in January-April, followed by reduced exports in May, highlights Georgia’s seasonal power system challenges. This reinforces the need for a more balanced generation mix and system flexibility - particularly reservoir HPPs, wind power, storage, and stronger export channels - to reduce winter import dependence while managing summer surplus.
