Why does the power go out in Georgia, and where can you check outage schedules?
Planned works, faults and whom to call.
Short answer
Power cuts in Georgia are most often due to planned grid maintenance, as well as faults and overloads in extreme heat or cold. Planned outage schedules are published by the grid operators: Telasi in Tbilisi and Energo-Pro Georgia in most regions, on their websites and social media. If the power goes out without notice, report it to your power company's hotline.
Why
- Planned outages are usually announced in advance, listing streets and times.
- If only your home is affected, check the breakers in your panel first.
- Power companies are overseen by the national energy regulator.
Details
Keep a torch and a charged power bank at home, especially in older buildings. The hotline number is usually on your electricity bill.
Tip
