Energy Efficiency Brief, Tbilisi-Georgia

Georgia will soon be releasing its first National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP), which covers a comprehensive set of policies and cross-sectoral measures in power, transport,  industry, buildings and services. Energy de-mand in Georgia stems primarily from transport (33 per cent), the residen-tial sector (30 per cent) and industry (15 per cent). In 2017 Tbilisi released its Land Use Master Plan 2030 to increase the efficiency of infrastructure investment, create a balanced road network to reduce traffic congestion and establish a network of green spaces. The success of both plans will rely on cooperation with Tbilisi City Hall and its residents, presenting a range of opportunities to showcase the city’s action and leadership on energy efficiency.
