What to do
Charge your phone and laptop before the cut starts. If water in your house comes from an electric pump or is heated by an electric boiler, fill a few containers in advance.
Electric heaters and air conditioners will not work while the power is off. If they are your main source of home heating in Georgia, warm up the rooms beforehand.
In Gudauri the power is off from 14:00 to 20:00. If you are staying in Gudauri, one of the ski resorts in Georgia, ask your hotel whether it has a backup generator.
The Energo-Pro Georgia call centre number is 032 2 47 17 07. Keep the customer number from your electricity bill in Georgia at hand when you call. The company says supply will return to normal as soon as the work is finished.
