Electricity consumption in Georgia increased by 5.1% in the first half of 2026, reaching 7.3 TWh. These data are provided by the investment company Galt & Taggart in its review of the Georgian energy market. At the same time, the share of imports and cogeneration in the total supply volume increased to 31.1% compared to 25.8% a year earlier.

Analysts note that at the beginning of the year, the country's dependence on external electricity supplies increased, and in May and June, exports significantly decreased. This is due to the seasonal features of the Georgian energy system, where hydropower plays a significant role, and the change in generation volumes throughout the year.

To enhance Georgia's energy stability, it is necessary to develop new infrastructure, including pumped-hydro storage plants, wind energy, battery storage systems, and electricity export projects, including the planned underwater cable across the Black Sea. In June, electricity generation in the country decreased by 16.3% to 1.1 TWh, and exports fell by 84.3%. Operators were forced to limit generation to maintain a balance between supply and demand.
