Electricity consumption by data centers is rapidly growing in Georgia, with a significant portion engaged in cryptocurrency mining. According to the regulator GNERC, the total energy consumption of such facilities reached 752 million kWh, which is about 5% of the total volume in the country. Compared to previous periods, the figure has increased 3 times.
The main contribution comes from AITec Solutions, which consumed 450 million kWh from the "Gldani" center in Tbilisi. Previously, Bitfury operated at this site. Second place is occupied by Texprint Corporation with a figure of 147 million kWh, and third place is TFZ Service, which supplies electricity to mining companies.
The increase in load is directly related to the rise in the price of cryptocurrencies, which stimulates the expansion of mining capacities. The trend continues in 2026: in January–February alone, consumption amounted to 86.7 million kWh, or about 3% of the country's total energy balance, which indicates a further strengthening of the role of data centers in the energy sector of Georgia.
