Revenue is cost-of-service regulated, recovered from generators, distribution licensees, and direct consumers.
2. System Dispatch and Balancing Services: Dispatch and balancing services provided to all market participants, with regulated fees charged to generators and consumers for real-time system balancing, frequency control, and reserve management.
3. Market Operator Fees: Fees charged to Balancing Responsible Parties (BRP), Balance Service Providers (BSP), and other market participants for registration, market platform access, and settlement services on the wholesale electricity market.
4. Grid Connection Fees: One-time connection fees charged to new generators, industrial consumers, and other parties connecting to the transmission network, calculated using a regulated methodology.
5. Transit and Cross-Border Transmission Fees: Fees collected for electricity transit through Georgian territory and cross-border flows between neighbouring power systems (Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey).

Direct peers

• Litgrid: Lithuania's national TSO operating transmission, balancing, and cross-border interconnections. Similar in scale to GSE as a small-country TSO with ENTSO-E integration and EU-funded infrastructure investments.
• Azerenerji: Azerbaijan's state-owned electricity generation and transmission operator, connected to GSE via cross-border interconnections and a co-participant in the Black Sea submarine cable project for green energy export.
• MAVIR (Hungarian Power System Operator): Hungary's national TSO and a partner in the Black Sea submarine cable project alongside GSE. Operates regulated transmission, balancing markets, and ENTSO-E coordination in a small-market EU setting.
• Ukrenergo: Ukraine's national TSO and ENTSO-E member, comparable to GSE as a state-designated transmission monopoly with cross-border interconnections, balancing market operations, and ongoing EU integration efforts.
• High Voltage Electric Networks of Armenia (HENN / EnergoimpEx): Armenia's high-voltage transmission operator and a direct cross-border neighbour of GSE. Operates transmission infrastructure and interconnections with Georgia under a comparable state-owned regulated structure.
• Transelectrica: Romania's national transmission system operator and GSE's bilateral partner on the Black Sea submarine cable project. Both are designated national TSOs with regulated cost-of-service tariffs, ENTSO-E membership, and cross-border interconnection operations.
• ESO EAD (Electricity System Operator of Bulgaria): Bulgaria's national TSO operating the high-voltage grid, dispatch, and wholesale market under regulated cost-of-service tariffs. Comparable in scale and structure to GSE as a smaller-EU country TSO.
• TEİAŞ (Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation): Turkey's national TSO and one of GSE's four cross-border neighbours, connected via the Borçka–Akhaltsikhe interconnection. Operates the high-voltage grid, market operations, and balancing services under a similar regulated monopoly structure.

Broad incumbents

• TenneT TSO: Major European TSO operating high-voltage transmission across the Netherlands and large parts of Germany, with significant offshore wind integration. A broad incumbent comparable to GSE in TSO function but at substantially larger scale.
• 50Hertz Transmission: One of Germany's four TSOs and ENTSO-E member operating high-voltage transmission and grid balancing across northern/eastern Germany. A larger, more established peer operating in the same European TSO ecosystem.
