In February 2026, electricity production in Georgia increased by 15.8% to 995 GWh, but consumption also increased, albeit more modestly, by 1.8% to 1226 GWh. This data is provided by TBC Capital, noting that despite the increase in generation, the country still requires imports to meet demand.
The main contribution to the growth was made by hydroelectric power plants - their production jumped by 51.9% and amounted to 672 GWh. Wind generation also showed growth to 6.6 GWh, while thermal power plants reduced production by 23.3% to 316 GWh. Consumption increased both in the retail segment and under direct contracts, but in Abkhazia, on the contrary, it decreased by 5.7%.
The cost of electricity on the balancing market fell to $0.0557 per kWh, down 6.6% year-on-year and 10.6% over the month. At the same time, Georgia imported 277 GWh of electricity worth $7.3 million, including supplies from Azerbaijan and Russia, some of which are aimed at meeting the needs of Abkhazia.
