## Energy storage projects in Georgian law

An investor wishing to store energy must first know one thing: no separate statute on electricity storage exists in Georgian legislation. Of the regulatory framework in force, the only sphere of storage regulated in detail is natural gas storage, which is governed by the law on energy. So if your project concerns a gas storage facility, the norms described below apply directly; electricity battery storage projects remain outside this framework, and no special licensing or permitting regime exists for them — this must be said plainly and taken into account in planning.

In planning, note also that relationships connected with storage are divided into two levels: on the one hand, the operator's activity — the operation and management of storage objects; on the other, the users' relationship with the operator — obtaining access, participating in capacity allocation and demanding compliance with the contractual conditions. The law governs both levels, and the investor's position depends precisely on which side it occupies in this relationship.

### Does a separate regulation on electricity storage exist?

No. Georgian law regulates only natural gas storage in detail; no special statute exists for electricity storage.

### Who carries out gas storage activity?

The natural gas storage system operator, under the procedure established by law and sub-legislative acts. The operation and management of the object take place in compliance with the storage rules.

### How is access to storage organized?

Through a negotiated or regulated procedure, where technically or economically necessary. The commission defines and publishes the criteria; the procedures must be objective and non-discriminatory.

### What happens with unused capacity?

The operator is obliged to offer it on the primary market as interruptible service, at least 1 day before the service; the user may resell contractual capacity on the secondary market.
