Georgia has abundant hydropower and biomass potential; however, these resources meet less than a quarter of the country’s total primary energy supply, with a falling share over the past decade. Together with seasonal variations in hydropower production, this decline has contributed to increasing reliance on energy imports. Yet Georgia has significant wind, solar and geothermal energy potential, offering a sustainable pathway for energy sector development.

Energy Transition Assessment: Georgia, developed by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in close cooperation with the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development (MoESD), finds that Georgia has significant renewable energy potential, offering a pathway for sustainable development, increased energy security and closer alignment with climate objectives.
