Power Plants in Georgia
Georgia has 20 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 92nd-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 11 operating and 8 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 3.4 GW across 11 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Enguri hydroelectric plant (1.3 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Engurhesi LLC (2), Georgian International Energy Corporation LLC (2) and Hydro Green Energy LLC (2) — Engurhesi LLC alone is named on 10% of them. Half of Georgia's power plants in service predate 1978 (median commissioning year of the 11 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Khrami I hydroelectric plant, dating from 1947. 8 are in the pipeline, led by Khudoni hydroelectric plant (702 MW), under construction. They account for 43% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Georgia.

Frequently asked
- How many power plants are there in Georgia?
- OverWatts maps 20 power plants in Georgia — under 0.1% of the world's mapped total, the 92nd-largest national fleet of the 155 countries with any.
- What is the largest power plant in Georgia?
- Enguri hydroelectric plant, at 1.3 GW.
- How much power-generation capacity do Georgia's power plants have?
- About 3.4 GW operating across 11 plants, with a further 3.3 GW under construction or proposed. That covers utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above, so it sits below national installed capacity wherever distributed generation is large.
- Who owns the power plants in Georgia?
- Engurhesi LLC is named as owner or operator on the most — 2 of 20 (10%). Next are Georgian International Energy Corporation LLC (2), Hydro Green Energy LLC (2) and Inter RAO PJSC (2).
- How old are Georgia's power plants?
- The median commissioning year is 1978, across the 11 in service with a known start date. The oldest still listed is Khrami I hydroelectric plant (1947); 2 came online in the past ten years.
- What new power plants are being built in Georgia?
- 8 projects are under construction or proposed. The largest are Khudoni hydroelectric plant (702 MW), Gardabani Combined Cycle power station (400 MW) and Nenskra hydroelectric plant (280 MW).
