BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 11. Georgia’s
electrical energy manufacturing fell by 1.1% in 2024 in comparison with the
earlier yr, totaling 14.23 billion kilowatt-hours.
Data obtained by Trend from the nation’s National Statistics reveals
blended traits throughout the nation’s vitality sector.
Crude oil manufacturing decreased by 8%, totaling 35,800 tons,
whereas coal extraction noticed a notable enhance of 20.1%, reaching
177,800 tons. Natural gasoline manufacturing additionally skilled a slight
decline of three%, amounting to fifteen.9 million cubic meters.
Firewood, labeled as a biofuel, noticed a lower of seven.2%, with
manufacturing falling to 1.03 million cubic meters.
In phrases of general vitality manufacturing, electrical energy remained the
dominant supply, comprising 77.4% of complete home vitality output,
measured in thousand tons of oil equal. Biofuels and waste,
primarily within the type of firewood, accounted for 12.3%, with different
vitality sources contributing the remaining share.
Hydropower vegetation (HPPs) contribute over 70% of Georgia’s complete
electrical energy era. However, to compensate for fluctuations in
output, notably throughout low-water intervals, the nation depends
closely on thermal energy vegetation (TPPs) and imports. In 2024,
regardless of a decline in general manufacturing, Georgia’s put in
electrical energy capability reached roughly 4,700 megawatts (MW),
though precise output different considerably.
Electricity stays the dominant supply within the nation’s vitality
combine, accounting for 77.4% of complete home manufacturing in 2024.
This stands in stark distinction to the minimal contributions from
pure gasoline (3%) and oil (0.2%), highlighting Georgia’s heavy
reliance on imported gasoline, primarily from Azerbaijan, to satisfy heating
and industrial calls for.
Additionally, the 20.1% enhance in coal extraction signifies a
strategic shift in direction of larger use of home thermal era,
geared toward offsetting the lowered output from hydropower sources.
