Assessment of Power Sector Reforms in Georgia: Country Report
Asian Development Bank | July 2015
Abstract
Reforms pursued by Georgia in recent years have made its power sector commercially viable as well as more
efficient and reliable. Now unbundled and largely privatized, the former state monopoly has developed an
operational wholesale market and has made great progress in making its operations and system pricing more
efficient. However, it still lacks independent regulatory competence and pricing transparency, and it remains
vulnerable to external supply shocks, having to balance shortfalls in domestic hydropower generation with
fuel imports for its power stations and with gas imports for its thermal plants. This country report assesses
the reform efforts and experiences of Georgia’s power sector for lessons and insights that other economies
could find useful in their own power sector planning and policy and strategy formulation.
