GREDA says producers need clarity before next year’s high-water season, while GNERC argues that regulating hydropower and storage are essential to managing Georgia’s recurring seasonal surplus.

Georgia’s Energy Development Fund says it is finalising applications that could seek between USD 10 million and USD 50 million for green projects, although the proposed projects have not yet been disclosed.

CESI’s Alessandro Crippa explains why 1,300 MW was selected for the proposed Black Sea interconnection, how engineers approach a 1,100 km deep-water HVDC link, and which technical milestones would signal the project’s transition towards implementation.

The economy minister has outlined a tender timetable for seabed investigations supporting the proposed electricity link between Georgia and Europe.

Prysmian’s Tommaso Noya explains what a 1,000 km-plus Black Sea power link requires in practice — from seabed surveys and deep-water installation to HVDC technology, vessel capacity, onshore grid development and long-term reliability.

Georgia’s 2026 grid-rule amendments have tied transmission connection rights more closely to project viability, construction progress, capacity consistency and contractual deadlines. For renewable-energy developers, the grid connection agreement now has to be managed as part of a wider legal and investment structure.

GSE’s Onise Chichinadze explains how Georgia’s Guarantees of Origin system works, why certification matters even in a renewable-heavy power system, and how closer integration with European frameworks could create new opportunities for generators, exporters and corporate buyers.

Combined wind and solar generation increased sharply in January–July 2026, supported by new capacity, although the two technologies still represent a small share of Georgia’s electricity supply.

Bank lending to Georgia’s energy sector rose 30% year-on-year in July 2026, while overdue loans remained at just 0.03% of the portfolio.

Azerbaijan wants to expand electricity exports toward European markets, with Georgia positioned on both the existing overland route through Türkiye and the planned Black Sea corridor.
