Georgia Power Generation


Georgia Power provides electric service to customers in 155 of the state’s 159 counties. 
Georgia Power’s Generating Capacity is 15,307,927 kwh.

Generating sources are primarily natural gas and coal. See below.

Natural Gas & Oil 6,297,942 kwh
Coal 5,799,591 kwh
Nuclear 1,959,852 kwh
Hydro 1,087,536 kwh
Solar 163,006 kwh

Costs reported for fuel sources are below.
Nuclear 0.82 cents per kwh
Coal 3.21 cents per kwh.
Natural Gas and Oil 2.75 cents per kwh
Average 2.40 cents per kwh


Coal costs are reported as 2.07 cents per kwh nationally. Georgia Power may be spending more to solve the coal pond problem.

The generation cost of Hydro is 0.77 cents per kwh. Hydro and Nuclear are our cheapest sources of electrical power.

I encourage Georgia Power to stop building solar panel farms.  The 13 cents per kwh cost is a scam.
