Georgia continues to strengthen its position as a key energy transit hub between the South Caucasus and Europe. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of the country, Inga Pkhaladze, at the Baku Energy Week. According to her, the development of new energy supply routes and the strengthening of regional cooperation are becoming crucial conditions for energy security.
The country's authorities are betting on the development of renewable energy sources, infrastructure modernization, and the expansion of international energy ties. According to government plans, by 2036, Georgia intends to fully meet its own electricity needs through domestic generation, abandon imports, and increase opportunities for energy export to neighboring countries.
One of the key projects remains the underwater energy cable across the Black Sea, which should connect the South Caucasus with Europe. The GECO initiative – the Green Energy Corridor – also plays an important role. These projects will expand cross-border electricity trade, strengthen the energy security of the region, and increase Georgia's importance as a reliable transit partner for European markets.
