Analysis of Using of Solar Energies in Georgia
The main sources of green energy (GE) as the cleanest form of energy or types of renewable energy sources (RES) are: wind, water, sun and earth. And solar energy (SE), which originates from the Sun, is one of the cleanest and most efficient renewable energy sources (RES). While the world, especially in the most developed countries of the world, has advanced far in the application of various forms of green energy (GE), in Georgia this field is in its infancy and it is not possible to predict when the first major positive developments in this field will be made. The paper presents a trend analysis and examples of the use of solar energy (SE) in Georgia currently and with a forecast until 2030. According to the data on the plans of the state authorities (Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Energy of Georgia), the development and use of solar energy (SE) with a plan of 250 MW for 2025 will increase according to the forecast for 2030 to 810 MW, with a CAGR value of 26,51 [%] and to 1330 [MW] in 2040, with a CAGR index of 11,79 [%] for that period. (or app. 5.32 times today’s value). The paper also presents several examples of the use of solar energy (SE) in Georgia in various areas of application.
