In 2025, two new hydroelectric power plants with a total capacity of 11.8 MW and six solar power plants with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW began operating in Georgia. Thus, 22.6 megawatts of new capacity were added to the country’s power system, according to analysts at Galt & Taggart. For comparison, in 2024 the large Khobi 2 hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 44.5 MW was commissioned.
By the end of 2025, the total installed capacity of all power plants in Georgia had reached 4,675 MW. The main share is accounted for by hydroelectric power plants at 3,489 MW, thermal power plants provide 1,154 MW, wind power plants 20.7 MW, and solar power plants 10.8 MW. Despite the increase in capacity, local electricity generation declined by 3.0% to 13.8 TWh.
The decline in hydropower generation amounted to 3.4% and is explained by maintenance at regulated plants, hydrological conditions, and the low water level at Enguri in January. Thermal generation fell by 1.6% due to reduced exports and increased imports, while wind and solar plants together generated 84 GWh, accounting for 0.5% of the country’s total electricity volume.
