Georgia’s wholesale electricity-market records clarify the route from registration to contract settlement

Verified facts

• ESCO reported that Bakhvi 2 LLC was registered as a Direct Customer from 13 September 2026, Alioni Energy LLC as a Free Supplier from 15 September 2026, and Wind Power JSC, for the Ruisi Wind Power Plant, as a power plant during test run or complex testing from 24 September 2026. Each record names a market-participant category under the Electricity (Capacity) Market Rules.
• ESCO states that wholesale electricity trade in Georgia’s unified power system occurs under direct contracts or through the Electricity Market Operator as balancing electricity. It further states that an eligible enterprise without a duly registered direct contract is automatically linked to the Standard Conditions of Direct Contract for balancing electricity.
• ESCO’s contracts guidance describes a direct contract as a bilateral purchase agreement between qualified enterprises and says that the Market Operator and Dispatch Licensee manage the registration process. The guidance identifies quantity, price and term as contract terms, and refers to the Market Rules for registration.
• For September 2026, ESCO reported 332,159,450.3 kWh of balancing electricity purchased or sold through ESCO, representing 30 percent of total delivery to the grid that month, with a weighted average balancing price of 16.068488972 tetri per kWh. This is an aggregate settlement indicator, not an offered price, tariff or forecast for a particular buyer or project.
• EBRD’s 2025 to 2026 assessment gives independent context: Georgia commissioned 48.9 MW of renewable capacity in 2024 and the report characterises renewable deployment as slow despite auction activity. That context does not establish eligibility, connection, project economics or a route to market for a named asset.
