Are there power outages (blackouts) in Batumi and the Adjara region, Georgia?

For comparison: on 5 August 2026 Tbilisi lost power — a participant wrote that traffic lights across the city were out and no windows were lit. This observation is about the capital, not Batumi, but it shows that outages at that time were not limited to Adjara.

In July 2026 a participant wrote that power going out in a wave across the whole of Adjara (the region that includes Batumi and Kobuleti) is not a rare sight for locals. So when travelling to Batumi, be prepared for outages that can affect the wider region, not just a single building. The discussion gives no figures on how often this happens — it is one person's impression.

On 23 July 2026 Kobuleti, a resort town near Batumi, was also without power — participants described a large-scale outage. According to them, Tbilisi lost power the same evening, and it was this coincidence that seemed unusual, since outages in Adjara on their own are seen as routine.
