Background
As of November 2022, Tbilsresi units 3 and 4 and Tbilsresi unit 9 (also known as Gardabani Energy Block 9) are operating.
Unit 10 has not been operating since 2003.[19] It was damaged in 2001 and is considered beyond repair.[20] the unit has been deactivated, but there is no evidence if the unit has been retired and decommissioned. Units 5-8 have not been operating at least since 1995.[19] These units have been deactivated and not decommissioned, and there is a potential for rehabilitation of these units, therefore they are considered mothballed.[20]
As of April 2025, only Units 3, 4, and 9 remain in operation at the plant.[21]
