In 2025, Georgian mining data centers recorded a combined consumption of 752 million kWh, triple the figure from the previous year.
Georgia has recorded a sharp increase in energy consumption linked to mining, with the country’s large data centers reaching a combined output of 752 million kWh in 2025, equivalent to approximately 5% of total national energy consumption. The data was released this week by the Georgian National Energy and Water Supply Regulatory Commission (GNERC) and reported by the Business Georgia portal.
The majority of mining operations are concentrated in the free economic zones of Tbilisi and the western city of Kutaisi. According to the regulator’s data, between January and November 2025 miners used 675 million kWh, marking an 80% increase compared to the previous year.
The sector’s growth extends into 2026 as well. In January and February, miners consumed 86.7 million kWh, equal to 3% of the national total. The share is lower than the annual average due to the seasonal increase in winter energy consumption related to heating.
The leading company in the sector is AITec Solutions, responsible for 450 million kWh of recorded consumption. The company operates the Gldani data center in Tbilisi, previously run by Bitfury, one of the world’s leading digital asset infrastructure operators. In second place is Texprint Corporation, based in the Kutaisi Free Economic Zone, which consumed 147 million kWh over nine months. Third is TFZ Service LLC with 104 million kWh: although not directly engaged in Bitcoin mining, it operates as an energy supplier for several mining facilities. Smaller players follow, including ITLab with 24.6 million kWh, Sain Fiz with 18.6 million kWh, and DATA Hub with 7.2 million kWh.
The sector is driven by low electricity rates, made possible by the country’s predominantly hydroelectric power generation, and a favorable regulatory framework that includes a preferential tax regime. Georgia’s situation contrasts with that of other countries in the former Soviet space: Kazakhstan has introduced higher tariffs for miners to address energy deficits, while Russia has banned mining in 13 of its regions struggling with energy shortages.
