Sources of Georgia utility-scale electricity generation, full-year 2023:

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Georgia, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Georgia had a total summer capacity of 36,198 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 126,484 GWh. In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 47% natural gas, 28.5% nuclear, 12.6% coal, 5.7% solar, 3.9% biomass, 2.1% hydroelectric, 0.1% petroleum, and 0.1% other. Distributed small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 520 GWh to the state's electricity grid. This compares to 7,583 GWh generated by Georgia's utility-scale solar facilities.

Two new nuclear reactors are under construction at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. They are the nation's first AP1000 reactors and have planned startup dates in 2023. The state has no active uranium or fossil-fuel mining operations and limited proven reserves of coal.
