Georgia has no fossil fuel resources but has substantial hydroelectric power resources located in several river basins. The industrial sector is the largest energy-consuming sector in the State, in part because Georgia is a leader in the energy-intensive wood and paper products industry. Energy consumption by the transportation sector is also high.
