Abstract: This paper evaluates Georgia's energy security by analyzing its energy balance across diverse sources, including fossil fuels, hydropower, and renewables. Using the IEA's short-term energy security model, the study identifies key energy sources and pathways for enhancing self-sufficiency. A critical dependency on imported fossil fuels is revealed, with petroleum products and natural gas comprising 56% of the energy balance, 98% being imported. While hydropower dominates (44%), other renewables remain limited (1%). The paper explores strategies for bolstering energy security, including reducing fossil fuel reliance, diversifying energy sources, promoting energy efficiency, and strengthening regional cooperation. These findings provide crucial insights for policymakers and stakeholders to guide strategic decisions and investments towards a more self-sufficient and sustainable energy future for Georgia.
Key words: Energy Security, Georgia, Renewable Energy, Energy Self-Sufficiency.
