According to the data of the Georgian State Electrosystem, currently the installed capacity of the Georgian energy system is 4586 MW, of which the capacity of regulatory hydroelectric power plants is 2381 MW, the capacity of run-of-river hydroelectric power plants is 995 MW, 110 MW of air turbines, 21 MW of wind plants, and combined and thermal power plants - 1079 MW. HPPs include about 74% of the total installed capacity.
The share of regulating HPPs is about 52% of the installed capacity.
According to the ten-year plan for the development of the transmission network, by 2033, the total capacity of Georgia will increase to 9848 MW. Of this, 4348 MW will be the capacity of regulating hydropower plants, 2887 MW - of run-of-river hydropower plants, 850 MW - of wind plants, 174 MW - of solar plants, 110 MW - of air turbines, and 1479 MW - of new combined cycle thermal power plants and existing outdated Gardabani Energy Blocks N 3, 4 and 9.
The share of the HPPs in the total installed capacity will reach 73% by 2033.
From this, the share of regulatory hydroelectric power stations is 44% of the country's total capacity. This ensures the use of accumulated water during periods of water scarcity, reducing dependence on imports of fuel for electricity and thermal power plants.
It should be noted that the share of wind and solar power plants will be around 10% by 2033.
The ten-year plan for the development of the transmission network of Georgia was approved by the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia on March 20, 2023.
