Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the requirements for the trade of electricity produced using renewable energy sources (RES) with the third countries. Georgia is considered a potential trade partner, as it has abundant hydro energy resources and plans for the interconnection with the neighbouring countries, first of all, with Turkey; and the latter is joining the continental European power system. The authors define what should be done in Georgia (technical, institutional, legal, regulatory developments) in order to fulfil the requirements of the Directive 2009/28/EC and allow electricity trade between the EU and Georgia.
