According to Article 49³ of the Georgian Law on Electricity and Natural Gas, every power plant constructed after August 1, 2008, except for the thermal power plant that is determined under the legislation of Georgia as a firm capacity source, shall be subject to deregulation. 

Deregulated power plants with project capacity above 13 mW are subject to licensing by the Commission for electricity generation activities, however, they operate on the Georgian energy market without the tariffs set by the Commission.
