Main Grid owner
JSC Georgian State Electrosystem (GSE) is one of the largest transmission grid owner. GSE owns and operates 4,438.72 km of electricity transmission lines and 93 substations throughout the entire territory of Georgia. The company provides services defined by its license - transmission of electricity from hydro, thermal, wind and solar power plants to distribution licensees, electricity suppliers (Telmiko, EP Georgia Supply) and direct customers (large companies). Distribution and supply companies deliver electricity to end consumers, while direct customers use it for their own purposes. The company also exports electricity produced in the country and transfers it to neighboring countries and is the sole technical operator for transiting electricity from one neighboring country to another.
On January 4, 2021, an agreement was signed between GSE and JSC United Energy System Sakrusenergo according to which the right of perpetual use (perpetual lease) of power transmission lines owned by JSC UES Sakrusenergo was transferred to JSC Georgian State Electrosystem (transmission system operator), which was brought into effect on the day of entry into force of the decision of the Georgian Energy and Water Regulatory Commission on the issuance of an electricity transmission license to the GSE (July 1, 2021).
