Georgia had a total primary energy supply (TPES) of 4.793 Mtoe in 2016.[1] Electricity consumption was 11.5 TWh in 2016. Electricity production was 11.6 TWh, of which 81% from hydroelectricity and 19% from natural gas.[2]

Georgia works in close collaboration with the European Union to implement sustainable biomass management practices by 2030.[3]

Wind power

Wind power in Georgia consists of one wind farm, completed in 2013 with 20 MW of capacity. [4]

Solar power

Solar energy in Georgia is widely available,[5] due to high average insolation.

In 2021, Georgia contracted Abu Dhabi's Masdar to develop a 100-megawatt solar power project in a move to diversify the country's energy mix.[6]
