Regulatory & Stakeholder
Expert guidance through Georgian regulatory landscape and stakeholder engagement
A power plant in Georgia needs an environmental decision or screening, a construction permit, a grid connection agreement and, above 15 MW, a GNERC generation licence. We map what your project needs, check what an asset already holds, and manage the process with the agencies, the grid operators and local communities.

- GNERC: no generation licence up to 15 MW (small plants notify the regulator); net metering up to 500 kW, with new connections moving to net billing on 1 January 2027.
- Environmental Assessment Code: full EIA for hydropower from 5 MW, screening for 2–5 MW hydro and for wind; confirm solar requirements early with the agency.
- Grid connection with Telasi, Energo-Pro Georgia or GSE: offers, fees and the 3-month signing window for transmission offers.
- Municipal construction permits, land category changes and engagement with local authorities and communities.
Frequently asked questions
Does a solar plant need a GNERC licence in Georgia?
Not up to 15 MW. Plants up to 500 kW can use net metering; small plants up to 15 MW notify the regulator; plants above 15 MW need a generation licence.
Which power plants need an EIA in Georgia?
Under the Environmental Assessment Code, hydropower plants of 5 MW or more need a full EIA; 2–5 MW hydro and all wind farms go through screening. Solar is not named in the annexes, so confirm the requirement with the environmental agency early.
What changes for solar on 1 January 2027?
New micro power plants connect under net billing instead of net metering. Plants connected before that date keep net metering until 1 January 2033.
Do you handle community and stakeholder engagement?
Yes. We plan and support engagement with municipalities, landowners and local communities, which matters most for hydropower and larger ground-mounted solar.
