Georgia has tremendous potential for the utilization of renewable energy. Currently, 1.1 percent of the in-
stalled capacity consists of renewable energy sources. Small hydropower represents the greatest source of
renewable energy. This is because the Government of Georgia has so far promoted hydropower as the only
renewable energy source. The Renewable Energy State Program offers hydropower plants of up to 100 MW
power purchase obligations with Georgia’s Energy System Commercial Operator for 10 years. For each project,
the tariff is negotiated by the Georgian National Energy Regulatory Commission and the individual investor

1 Value is from 2010
before the project is officially agreed, ensuring cost recovery and a fair rate of return (ECS, 2012). Although
legislative support for renewable energy is currently lacking (other than for small hydropower), support for
small hydropower plants is very investor friendly. The Government of Georgia streamlined permit procedures
and application processes, producing a clear set of licences required for potential small hydropower devel-
opers. Since hydropower plants up to 13 MW are exempt from the licence for power generation, the com-
mission of a small hydropower plant requires only a land lease or purchase licences obtained from local
authorities, a water usage permit issued by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection
and a construction permit issued by the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development. The average
generation tariff in Georgia is approximately $0.028/kW-h with variation of $0.007/kW-h for older and
$0.068/kW-h for newer hydropower plants (ECS, 2012). The investor friendly environment is reflected in the
World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index, which ranks Georgia in eighth position globally. For some sub-
indicators, Georgia performs better still. Dealing with construction permits (2nd
position) and getting credit
(3rd
position) is very easy and property registration is the least complex in the world (IFC & World Bank, 2014).
The reform package increased the number of foreign investors from 368 in 2004 to 2,000 in 2010 (MESD,
2013).
The Renewable Energy State Program was adopted in 2008 and determines the rules for renewable energy
power plants, particularly for the construction of hydropower plants. As well as the project-specific feed-in
tariffs for hydropower plants up to 100 MW, developers of hydropower plants up to 10 MW are granted more
benefits. Small hydropower plants are not required to sell their electricity to the national grid, but directly to
consumers at bilaterally negotiated tariffs. Small hydropower plant developers are allowed to export their
electricity without an export licence, except for the three winter months, when the Government of Georgia
offers a power purchase guarantee to ensure domestic energy supply (MESD, 2013). In addition, distribution
companies are obliged to provide free grid connection (ECS, 2012). To reduce potential investors’information
costs, the Ministry of Energy has published a manual for small hydropower developers, and a list of possible
small hydropower plant grounds open for investment with detailed pre-feasibility studies.2

Georgia

  • 1. Georgia has tremendous potential for the utilization of renewable energy. Currently, 1.1 percent of the in- stalled capacity consists of renewable energy sources. Small hydropower represents the greatest source of renewable energy. This is because the Government of Georgia has so far promoted hydropower as the only renewable energy source. The Renewable Energy State Program offers hydropower plants of up to 100 MW power purchase obligations with Georgia’s Energy System Commercial Operator for 10 years. For each project, the tariff is negotiated by the Georgian National Energy Regulatory Commission and the individual investor Georgia General Country Information Population: 4,511,800 Surface Area: 69,700 km² Capital City: Tbilisi GDP (2012): $ 15.8 billion GDP Per Capita (2012): $ 3,508 WB Ease of Doing Business: 8 Source: USAID (2008); EBRD (2009); MESD (2013); SHYCA (2010); ECS (2012); World Bank (2014); EIA (2010); EIA (2013); SRS NET & EEE (2008); Hoogwijk and Graus (2008); Hoogwijk (2004); JRC (2011); and UNDP calculations.

  • 2. before the project is officially agreed, ensuring cost recovery and a fair rate of return (ECS, 2012). Although legislative support for renewable energy is currently lacking (other than for small hydropower), support for small hydropower plants is very investor friendly. The Government of Georgia streamlined permit procedures and application processes, producing a clear set of licences required for potential small hydropower devel- opers. Since hydropower plants up to 13 MW are exempt from the licence for power generation, the com- mission of a small hydropower plant requires only a land lease or purchase licences obtained from local authorities, a water usage permit issued by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection and a construction permit issued by the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development. The average generation tariff in Georgia is approximately $0.028/kW-h with variation of $0.007/kW-h for older and $0.068/kW-h for newer hydropower plants (ECS, 2012). The investor friendly environment is reflected in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index, which ranks Georgia in eighth position globally. For some sub- indicators, Georgia performs better still. Dealing with construction permits (2nd position) and getting credit (3rd position) is very easy and property registration is the least complex in the world (IFC & World Bank, 2014). The reform package increased the number of foreign investors from 368 in 2004 to 2,000 in 2010 (MESD, 2013). The Renewable Energy State Program was adopted in 2008 and determines the rules for renewable energy power plants, particularly for the construction of hydropower plants. As well as the project-specific feed-in tariffs for hydropower plants up to 100 MW, developers of hydropower plants up to 10 MW are granted more benefits. Small hydropower plants are not required to sell their electricity to the national grid, but directly to consumers at bilaterally negotiated tariffs. Small hydropower plant developers are allowed to export their electricity without an export licence, except for the three winter months, when the Government of Georgia offers a power purchase guarantee to ensure domestic energy supply (MESD, 2013). In addition, distribution companies are obliged to provide free grid connection (ECS, 2012). To reduce potential investors’information costs, the Ministry of Energy has published a manual for small hydropower developers, and a list of possible small hydropower plant grounds open for investment with detailed pre-feasibility studies.2 Legislation and policy R E N E W A B L E E N E R G Y S N A P S H O T : 2 The manual for small hydropower developers can be found at: http://smallhydrogeorgia.org/en/; The list of investments can be found at: www.energy.gov.ge/investor.php?id_pages=18&lang=eng; An interactive map visualizing the list of investment: http://hpp.minenergy.gov.ge/index.php?lang=eng; An example of a pre-feasibility study can be found at: http://hydropower.ge/user_upload/Stori_0_Pre-Feasibility_ Report_07-04-2011_final_new.pdf.
