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.
