Georgia’s Electrical Energy Balance Analysis (2007)
Maka Gudiashvili, Nana Samsonia
Electrical energy balance enables us to define proportional relations between production and consumption of electric energy, to exploit current resources and to use them purposefully. Electrical energy balance analysis shows energy resources while their deficit.
According to 2007 balance data we can conclude that regulatory power stations made the biggest contribution to electricity generation: 54%. Season power station share is 27,8%, as for thermo stations it is 18,2%. Gardabani Gas Turbine Power station Energy Invest JSC totally generated 227 million kWh of power during the year, maximum generation (45-49 million kWh) takes place during the period of September-October. it is not economically advisable if take into consideration that imported natural air costs 110 USD/100m3. In winter (January-March) it generated fewer electric energy (5-14 million kWh), when season hydropower stations are nearly stopped and do not contribute to general generation.
It’s worth noting that electric energy production exceeded its consumption in electric energy balance 2007: decrease of general consumption together with the drop of the country’s technical level points to the changes in filed structure of industry in direction of decreasing electric fields shares.
Export exceeded import and positive balance reached (export: 634 million kWh; Import: 434 million kWh) 200 million kWh. If Georgia becomes the county exporting electric energy, then why don’t consumption prices decrease on electric energy on local market?
2002-2007 balance shows the rising tendency of the country’s electrification level integral part (electricity production volume per person) analyzing the world acknowledged parameters that share the same factors with Georgia: common geographic zone, priority of hydropower station in electricity generation and number o population, these indicators may reach the advisable norm in coming years: electricity production level per capita about 2000 kWh.

While evaluation, those potential partners are selected which will be able to fully realize international business strategy, agree with production and sale plans, maintain contacts on receiving country’s markets and offer channels of corresponding sales and distribution.
Joint activities with local agents that at the same time consider some other company’s interests carry the hidden competition danger. Before actually deciding to cooperate with an agency, it’s important to make sure that it is honest, full of energy and has experience in corresponding range of goods and services.
While choosing potential partners its necessary to find out which of them is respected and supported by receiving state’s government, whether it will maintain or not the formation of reliable business contacts on local market for an international company’s foreign branch, whether it will offer its own sales system.

Parameters of comparative analysis (Comparative studies) and system of new indicators: approaches and dynamics
Maia Danelia, pedagogue, Georgian Technical University
Tinatin Abralava, MA, Georgian Technical University
Defining methodological approaches and parameters of modern economic system’s comparative analyzes is quite various. Methodology is particularity interacting. It has been worked out by American researcher Gregory P, and Russian scientists: Buzgalini A. and Kolganov A. the first is used while implementing comparative analysis of all types of economic systems, the second applies to countries with transitional economic models. These methods are not completed (and even authors consider so) still, they enable us to show the resemblance and difference of modern economic systems first of all, and then to define their development trends.
Comparative analysis of modern economic systems is implemented by means of the indicators that show their economic outcomes. The following are the basic indicators: economic growth; separating incomes; economic efficiency; economic stability.
For the countries with transitional economy the following major principles based on models worked out and offered by Russian scientists:
· Showing differences of economic systems while interrelation in time and space;
· Existence of universal group of comparison parameters that will remain through qualitative and quantitative changes;
· Searching and collecting economic as well as administrative and legal information.
The worked out methodology covers two stages of comparative researches. The first stage analyzes major generalizing microeconomic parameters. It is famous as ‘First twist’ among researchers.
Absence of systemic analysis transformation in Transitional economy courtiers lead us comparative analysis indicators’ limit:
· Producing GDP and industrial products
· Inflation
· Inflation and unemployment
· Paying for real work
· Taxation incomes in GNP
Both of the above mentioned methodologies do not research such indicators as poverty, sustainable development indicator and a new system of indicators by UN introduced in 90’s. these indicators would have made actual picture of various economic orientation systems different.
