Georgia has begun exporting electricity to Armenia for the first time
this year, Georgian State Electrosystem spokesman Nino Dzheiranashvili
told Interfax.
Georgia is transmitting 1 million kWh a day to Armenia on the LEP- 220
Alaverdi line. "Under the terms of the agreement, electricity exports
to Armenia will continue until the end of August," Dzheiranashvili
said.
Georgia is also exporting 6 million-7 million kWh to Russia and up
to 2 million kWh to Turkey each day.
Georgia currently generates 28.5 million kWh of electricity a day,
all at the nation’s hydroelectric stations, including about 60%
at the Inguri Hydroelectric Station.
