Abkhazia: electricity from Russia at a low price
Although Abkhazia traditionally faces electricity shortages starting in October, it will begin buying electricity from Russia in August to save on costs.
“Normally, electricity problems begin around October 1, so we’ve ordered a schedule for electricity inflow from Russia. To avoid scrambling for funds at year-end, we’ll start purchases in August using weekend and nighttime tariffs, which are half the price compared to November and December,” said Abkhaz president Badra Gunba.
He added that the government is working on measures to reduce seasonal shortages, which began in 2020 when electricity consumption spiked from 2 to 3 billion kWh due to cryptocurrency mining. Since then, the deficit has hovered around 30%. Last winter was especially harsh in Abkhazia – many homes were without electricity for most of the day.

The main cause of the energy shortage remains unresolved and likely won’t be fixed – the government appears to have failed in its fight against illegal crypto mining.
Abkhazia’s only source of domestic electricity, the Inguri HPP, can no longer meet the country’s growing demand.
Previously, part of the shortage was covered by “humanitarian aid” from Russia – free electricity transfers during the autumn-winter season. The rest was purchased from Russia at discounted rates.
However, due to chronic budget shortfalls, even these discounted purchases have become unaffordable. As a result, rolling blackouts are used during shortages, with power cuts lasting 4–6 hours a day.

The British Foreign Office summoned the Georgian chargé d’affaires on June 30 to protest what it called the Georgian Dream government’s crackdown on civil society, independent media, and political opposition, warning of potential further action if democratic standards are not upheld.
George Saganelidze is currently serving as chargé d’affaires, according to Georgia’s Foreign Ministry.
During the meeting, “a senior official made clear the UK’s firm position to their country’s increasingly harmful trajectory and strongly objected to false claims and public attacks launched by Georgian Dream against the UK and international partners,” the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said in a statement.
“The imprisonment of prominent opposition leaders is the latest attempt by the Georgian government to crack down on freedoms and stifle dissent,” a Foreign Office spokesperson said. “The detention of election rivals is incompatible with any remaining Euro-Atlantic aspirations held by Georgian Dream as well as their own constitutional commitments,” the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson further warned that the British government “will not hesitate to consider further action should Georgia not return to respecting and upholding democracy, freedoms, and human rights.”
Five opposition leaders in Georgia have recently been sentenced to months in prison over their refusal to appear before an investigative commission in the Georgian Dream-led parliament, which they do not recognize as legitimate. Another opposition leader, currently in pre-trial custody on similar charges, is awaiting a ruling today, July 1.
Since December 2024, the United Kingdom has sanctioned senior Interior Ministry officials — including now-former GD Minister Vakhtang Gomelauri — amid violent crackdowns on protests; senior judges over “serious corruption” allegations; and other high-level officials, including Prosecutor General Giorgi Gabitashvili, who also recently left his post.
The report of summoning the Georgian chargé d’affaires comes days after the meeting between Georgian Dream Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili and Gareth Ward, UK Ambassador to Georgia. Georgian MFA reported that during the meeting, Bochorishvili brought up recent statements and actions by the British executive and legislative branches, including sanctions, which she pointed out “cast a shadow over the strategic partnership and friendship” between the two countries.
