The State of Energosector in Georgia and
Some Aspects of
its Energosphere Cooperation with Russia.
After
gaining independence in Georgia its energosector fell into deep crisis:
the
output of electroenergy has decreased twice, oil production has also
decreased
to critical level, the extraction of coal has almost ceased. In spite
of some
positive changes the state of energetics still remains extremely heavy.
Under
such conditions it becomes necessary to attract foreign aid to the
country.
Naturally, at first it concerns such a country as Russia having
enormous
energetic potential. At present Georgia gets from Russia almost all
kinds of
energocarriers: electric power, natural gas, petrol, diesel oil, coal,
black
oil etc. It is considered expedient to develop the cooperation between
Russia
and Georgia in the following directions: export-import expansion of
energocarriers; participation of energocomplexes of Russia in private
energosystem of Georgia; participation of Russia in rehabilitation of
energy in
Georgia, synchronous amalgamation of energosystem of Russia and
Transcaucasian
countries (Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Armenia).
