"Among the countries that import electricity from Georgia, Armenia took the second place. 2024 During 9 months, the volume of supplies from Georgia was 1 billion kWh, which is 28.8% less compared to the same period last year.
At the same time, the export income decreased by 48.8%, making 49 million dollars. During the mentioned period, the average export price decreased by 28.1% and amounted to 0.047 dollars per kWh. The main part of the electricity was exported to Turkey (82.8%), and the rest was distributed between Armenia (13.1%), Azerbaijan (4%) and Russia (0.1%).
These are the first fruits of the liberalization of the electricity market in Armenia.Increasing imports against the background of a decrease in exports.Many licensed private traders in the conditions of reduction of the state's participation in market regulation.
And this despite the fact that until 2010-2011 Armenia has a strong position in the electricity market of Georgia.
This picture is exacerbated by the lack of any progress in the construction of a new power line between Armenia and Georgia within the framework of the North-South electricity corridor.
