Georgia Halts Electricity Import from Azerbaijan

Georgia has temporarily halted the import of
electricity from Azerbaijan. The Georgian electricity
agency announced that the Georgian and Azerbaijani
connection, by "Gardabani-500," has been stopped due
to the renovation of the electricity station. From
today until the end of the month 300 kilowats of high
voltage electricity will be converted by an aerial
switch, as will the system’s control and inspection.

We remind that Georgia is receiving natural gas from
Azerbaijan, at $120 per cubic meter. Starting in 2007,
Gazprom increased their price to natural gas shipped
to Georgia, from $110 per cubic meter to $235. The
price for natural gas reaching Armenia remains at $110
per cubic meter.
