In recent years, the interest in the construction of wind and solar power plants in Georgia has increased. Therefore, the Georgian Electricity Transmission System Operator - JSC Georgian State Electrosystem, with the help of European consultants - Digsilent, DMCC, R2B consortium, have studied the possibilities of integration of changing renewable energy sources into the Georgian energy system.

The results of the study are as follows:

• Until 2020-2021 (after commissioning the balance mechanisms) it is possible to integrate 333 MW wind and 130 MW solar power stations (25%of the potential) into the Georgian power system;
• By 2025, it is possible to integrate about 500 MW wind and 250 MW solar power stations, with the additional updated reports to adjust the limits;
• It is possible to integrate 1332 MW wind and 520 MW solar power stations (100% of the potential) in 2030.

To be informed, the Georgian State Electrosystem is a transmission system operator the function of which is to maintain the system sustainability and reliability in both short and long -term periods. In order for the company to be able to generate and exchange accurate data for the management of electricity, it is necessary to integrate various information technology platforms in the Georgian State Electrosystem, complying with the ten-year development plan for the Georgian transmission network. This is the basis for the ten-year development plan for SCADA and Information Technology (IT). This document provides a consistent network development plan for information technology and SCADA.
