Georgia added 22.6 MW of new renewable electricity capacity in 2025, according to figures reported by investment bank Galt & Taggart.
Two small hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 11.8 MW and six small solar stations totalling 10.8 MW entered operation during the year.
By the end of 2025, Georgia’s installed electricity capacity had reached 4,675 MW. Hydropower accounted for 3,489 MW, thermal generation for 1,154 MW, wind for 20.7 MW and solar for 10.8 MW.
The additions show that solar has begun to appear in Georgia’s operating generation base, although its scale remains limited. Wind and solar together produced 84 GWh in 2025, equivalent to only 0.5% of total electricity generation.
Domestic generation declined by 3% year on year to 13.8 TWh. Hydropower output fell by 3.4% to 11 TWh, reflecting lower production at regulated plants, maintenance, hydrological conditions and low water levels at the Enguri reservoir early in the year.
The 2025 result therefore presents a mixed picture: new renewable assets entered service, but additions were modest and did not offset weaker output from Georgia’s much larger hydropower fleet.
For developers and investors, the more important test in 2026 will be whether the announced solar, wind and hydro pipeline begins to translate into substantially larger volumes of operating capacity.
