In the first half of 2025, Russia accounted for the majority of Georgia’s electricity imports, making up 78.9% of total imported electricity—58.6% of which was designated for consumption in the Abkhazian region, according to a report by Galt & Taggart.

Georgia spent $25.3 million on electricity imports during this period, with an average import price of 2.6 US cents per kWh. However, electricity imported specifically for Abkhazia was priced at just 0.1 US cents per kWh, significantly lowering the national average.

Meanwhile, electricity exports declined sharply, falling 41.4% year-on-year to 0.4 TWh, while imports surged 116.6% to reach 1.0 TWh.

Turkey remained Georgia’s main export destination, absorbing 81.6% of total exports. The decline in exports is attributed to lower electricity prices on the Turkish market, reducing profitability for Georgian exporters.

The top three private exporters to Turkey were:

• Bukaf Solutions

• Georgia Urban Energy

• Adjara Energy 2007

Additionally, the Georgian State Electrosystem exported 52.6 GWh to Turkey to repay historical debts.

As a result of reduced volume and lower prices, export revenues fell by 43.8%, totaling $19.2 million in the first half of 2025. The average export price declined by 4% year-on-year, to 4.3 US cents per kWh.

Electricity transit through Georgia during the same period totaled 0.3 TWh, with 87.9% originating from Azerbaijan and the remainder from Russia.
