Tbilisi. Aug 4 (Interfax) - Georgia has begun exporting electricity to Armenia for the first time this year, Georgian State Electrosystem spokesman Nino Dzheiranashvili told Interfax.

Georgia is transmitting 1 million kWh a day to Armenia on the LEP-220 Alaverdi line. "Under the terms of the agreement, electricity exports to Armenia will continue until the end of August," Dzheiranashvili said.

Georgia is also exporting 6 million-7 million kWh to Russia and up to 2 million kWh to Turkey each day.

Georgia currently generates 28.5 million kWh of electricity a day, all at the nation's hydroelectric stations, including about 60% at the Inguri Hydroelectric Station.
