Georgia has growing emissions with a large contribution from businesses. Georgian emissions have significantly increased in the last 15 years, albeit from a low level. Businesses (that is, industry, transport services, construction, and commerce) are among the entities responsible for the most emissions in Georgia. Unless urgent actions are taken, industry emissions could increase by 90 percent between 2015 and 2030. Despite recent progress, the institutional and regulatory framework requires significant strengthening. In the last few years, Georgia has made progress in aligning its institutional and regulatory framework to EU legislation and standards (for example, the Law on Energy Efficiency, the Law on Industrial Emissions, and the National Climate Change Plan). However, this is an unfinished agenda because Georgia still lags in translating this legal framework into concrete incentives and opportunities for business investments, as shown by its low ranking among regional peers in the Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE). Recommendations to support green transitions include horizontal economy-wide policies and recommendations that target firms and sectors (see figure below). First, the horizontal recommendations focus on developing a conducive enabling business environment centered around the appropriate price signals and regulations, as well as improvements to the grid infrastructure and reliability of electricity services. Second, the horizontal recommendations are complemented by firm- and sector-specific recommendations that are grouped around three pillars: (1) information, (2) capabilities, management, technology, and skills and (3) finance. Specific recommendations and policy instruments, along with examples of existing international good practices, are discussed. Finally, policy recommendations are grouped in terms of their priority (short-term, mid-term, or long-term) and their complexity, which refers both to the technical feasibility and to the political economy feasibility of these actions. Finally, beyond the specific policy solutions, the report emphasizes the importance of targeting by using appropriate diagnostic and benchmarking tools to assess specific needs and readiness of businesses to upgrade and invest in energy efficiency.
