“It often becomes a subject of manipulation that Georgia is energy-dependent on Russia - we are not energy dependent on Russia,” - the Chairman of the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC), Davit Narmania, said.
According to him, Georgia has the opportunity to import electricity from both Azerbaijan and Turkey, more than 90% of natural gas is imported from Azerbaijan and only a very small volume is imported from Russia.
"As a rule, electricity is imported to Georgia from Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkey, depending on the prices offered by any of these countries during a certain period. Thus, I declare this with full responsibility - we are not energy-dependent on Russia, both in terms of electricity and natural gas. In terms of electricity, we have the opportunity to import both from Azerbaijan and Turkey, as for natural gas, more than 90% is imported from Azerbaijan, while a very small volume - from Russia, which is a necessary technical tool for regulating the pressure of this gas pipeline. On the other hand, Georgia receives certain benefits from natural gas transported to Armenia," - Davit Narmania said at the press conference held in Mtavari media center.
