Nuclear power carries a large share of Georgia's electricity supply, and the concentration is striking. About 25 percent of the state's electricity each year comes from just two plants, Plant Hatch near Vidalia and Plant Vogtle near Augusta.

The scale of Vogtle drives much of that contribution. With Units 3 and 4 in commercial operation, the plant reaches 4,536 megawatts of capacity, making it the largest nuclear facility in the United States. The four units run continuously, overseen by a workforce of more than 1,600 people operating the plant every hour of the year.

The financial structure behind the expansion is sizable. As of March 31, roughly 4.6 billion dollars remained outstanding under multi advance credit facilities involving Georgia Power, the Department of Energy, and the Federal Financing Bank, secured by Georgia Power's ownership interest in Units 3 and 4.

The data outlines a state where two facilities anchor a quarter of total electricity generation. As Georgia's power demand grows, particularly from data center development in the region, the firm capacity from Hatch and Vogtle provides a stable base. The 25 percent share measures how central nuclear has become to the state's supply.
