It often becomes a subject of manipulation that Georgia is energy dependent on Russia - we are not energy dependent on Russia, the Chairman of the National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission of Georgia, Davit Narmania, said.
According to him, Georgia has the opportunity to import electricity from both Azerbaijan and Turkey, more than 90% of natural gas is imported from Azerbaijan and only a very small amount is imported from Russia.
"I emphasize that where from the country imports electricity during a particular month depends on which country offers a cheaper price. As a rule, electricity is imported to Georgia from Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkey, depending on prices in a particular period. Thus, we are not energy dependent on Russia, I declare this with full responsibility, both in terms of electricity and natural gas. We have the opportunity to import electricity both from Azerbaijan and Turkey, as for natural gas, more than 90% is imported from Azerbaijan, a very small part is imported from Russia, which is a necessary technical tool for regulating the pressure of this gas pipeline on the one hand, and on the other hand, Georgia gets some benefits from the natural gas transported to Armenia. Thus, we do not have dependence on Russia, both in terms of electricity and natural gas," Davit Narmania said at the press conference.
