"We're expecting electricity tariffs to go up," Giorgi Margebadze, head of the Small and Medium Hydropower Plants Association, states.
In his words, improved quality typically goes hand-in-hand with higher tariffs.
"Tariffs went up after the Enguri power plant's reconstruction, and today Enguri operates more efficiently than before. Moreover, Energo Pro Georgia and Telasi have been obliged to invest about 2 billion GEL, as it is well-known that power is cut off during every storm, particularly in rural areas, due to significantly outdated networks. When money is spent on improvements and quality, tariffs logically increase. Our deficit is also covered by imports, and these have become more expensive," notes Giorgi Margebadze.
Note: The Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC ) introduced a temporary tariff, as a result of which the current electricity tariff will be kept in the upcoming three months — these three months expire at the end of March.
At the end of 2025, David Narmania, Chairman of the Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission, told journalists that electricity distribution companies have asked for a three-month delay in the process. He also pointed out that they have consulted with the Prime Minister of Georgia on the tariffs.
"As of now, subscribers in Tbilisi consuming 0 to 101 kilowatts of electricity monthly are charged 15.041 tetri per kilowatt.
