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.
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.
ADB Principal Energy Specialist Adnan Tareen explains how the planned Ksani battery system could strengthen grid stability, support more wind and solar, and help create a commercial market for energy storage in Georgia.
Georgia's power system needs stronger transmission, storage and export infrastructure to manage seasonal swings — like May 2026, when high hydro output and weak export demand forced generation curbs, says GREDA's Maia Melikidze.
