PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY IN GEORGIA

Summary

Irrational use of energy in the past century has created serious environmental problems. Therefore, in the 21st century, global energy development from the use of non-renewable organic resources is gradually moving to the use of non-traditional, renewable and practical alternative energy.

Renewable energy is an important sector of the green economy and is a combination of renewable energy sources. Renewable sources are: wind and solar energy, geothermal power plants, bioenergy.

According to international and local experts, in the traditional energy sector for Georgia, it is necessary to develop such important areas as energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.

Under the diverse resources of Georgia, the green economy should be developed at the expense of wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy, which is a prerequisite for a healthy environment. This will be a significant step forward for the economic sustainability of Georgia.

The implementation of the basic idea of green growth will contribute to the fight against poverty and unemployment, the protection of general resources. Under the diverse resources of Georgia, the green economy should be developed at the expense of wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy, which is a prerequisite for a healthy environment. This will be a significant step forward for the economic sustainability of Georgia.

Currently, there are no programs in Georgia to quickly stimulate the development of renewable energy sources or a properly developed strategy. The role and intervention of the state in the sustainable use of renewable energy in Georgia is crucial.
