In 2023, the figure reached 40 million lari.
The report said Enguri delivered 1.48 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Abkhazia in 2024.
During winter months, output was insufficient to cover demand, forcing Georgia to import an additional 353.6 million kilowatt-hours from Russia.
The ministry noted that without this so-called quasi-fiscal activity, Enguri’s net profit would have been 44 million lari.
Instead, the company finished 2024 with just 1 million lari in profit.
