Analysis# Georgia Renewable Energy Consumption
Georgia derived 25.2% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2021, representing a near doubling of consumption since 1990 when renewables accounted for just 12.8%. The country peaked at 56.8% renewable energy consumption in 2002, a level reflecting Georgia's abundant hydroelectric resources. The 97% overall increase since 1990 demonstrates significant expansion in renewable capacity, though current levels remain well below historical highs.
The period from 2012 to 2021 reveals a declining pattern, with renewable consumption falling from 28.7% to a low of 23.4% in 2020 before rebounding slightly to 25.2% in 2021. This downward trend over the past decade contrasts sharply with earlier growth and suggests shifting energy portfolios or fluctuations in hydroelectric output due to weather variability. Sustaining growth toward pre-2010 levels will require strategic investments in renewable infrastructure and capacity expansion.
