Supply Activity and Its Core Principles
The supply of electricity or natural gas to final customers is carried out under the procedure established by the Law of Georgia on Energy and the subordinate normative acts issued under it. Save for the cases directly specified by the law, supply is performed at an unregulated market price, on the basis of a supply contract concluded between the final customer and the electricity or natural gas supplier. Household customers and small enterprises are entitled, under the procedure established by the law, to use electricity and natural gas supply services.
A supplier purchases electricity or natural gas on the basis of a bilateral contract or on an organized energy market. A supplier bearing a public service obligation may buy and sell energy in compliance with the law, the relevant market model concept and the legal acts of the regulator, provided it keeps separate accounting for public service supply and its other supply or trading activities. The regulator ensures, in line with Georgia's international obligations, that the regulation of supply activity is not discriminatory towards an energy enterprise of any party of the Energy Community.
