What Georgia power is made of

In plain words. Natural gas is the biggest source in Georgia (38%), and the power made there is about as clean as the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 5 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 88 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Georgia plants of 1 MW or more made 146.5 TWh. The biggest sources: natural gas 38.4%, nuclear 35.0%, coal 13.6%. For comparison, natural gas makes 40.9% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 9.5% (22.6% for the U.S.). Georgia plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

Georgia carbon per kWh

Georgia plants emitted 714 lb of CO₂ per MWh in 2023 (0.324 kg per kWh), against 767 lb for the U.S. An average Georgia home using 1,082 kWh a month accounts for about 350 kg of CO₂ a month at that rate. The rate is for Georgia plants, not your supplier.

Analyst note

Georgia residential power was 32nd highest of 51 in 2015 at 11.54 ¢ and is 35th in 2024 at 14.08 ¢, so the state slid down 3 places. The U.S. figure went 12.65 to 16.48 ¢ while Georgia went +22.0%. The biggest annual move was 2022 at +10.3%; the latest year, 2024, came in at +2.8% against +3.0% for the U.S. Business customers paid 9.89 ¢ in 2015 and 10.87 ¢ in 2024, a gap to homes of -1.65 ¢ then and -3.21 ¢ now; industry went from 5.87 to 7.21 ¢ (+22.8%). Reliability worsened at the 23 Georgia utilities that report in both years: their median SAIDI went from 96 minutes in 2015 to 129 in 2024, +33%, against a U.S. median reporter of 99. Georgia Power Co is the largest by accounts with 2,804,103, 51.4% of the 5,459,009 accounts in Georgia, and the top three hold 60.3%. Territory overlaps: 152 of 159 counties are listed by two or more utilities, led by Fulton with 7.

Georgia ranks 35th of 51 on residential price (14.08 ¢), mid-table, and 14.6% under the national average. Since 2015 the residential price moved +22.0% against +30.3% nationally, so Georgia has slipped behind the national trend by 8.3 points.

Businesses pay 3.21 ¢ less than households here (-22.8%); business is under home price in 51 of 51. The median of 30 reporting utilities is 128.3 SAIDI minutes, 1.29 times the national median. The top three utilities hold 62.3% of accounts, so a few reliability records set the state picture.

By revenue, Georgia electricity splits 51.1% residential, 35.1% commercial and 13.8% industrial; by kWh the split is 41.4%, 36.8% and 21.8%. Residential accounts are the largest revenue source here. Home accounts are 88.2% of 5,459,008 accounts and use 1,074 kWh a month, a commercial account 7,426 and an industrial one 111,689.
