The document provides an update on Vogtle Units 3 and 4, two new nuclear reactors being constructed in Georgia. It discusses key details about the units such as their location, technology, ownership, and safety features. It also summarizes impacts from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident on the project, noting that the AP1000 reactor design meets most recommendations due to its passive safety systems. The construction process and current status of the units are then overviewed.

2. Certain information contained in this presentation is forward-looking information based on current expectations and plans
that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking information includes, among other things, statements concerning
estimated construction and other expenditures, job creation, benefits to customers and the completion of ongoing
construction projects. Georgia Power cautions that there are certain factors that can cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking information that has been provided. The reader is cautioned not to put undue reliance on this
forward-looking information, which is not a guarantee of future performance and is subject to a number of uncertainties and
other factors, many of which are outside the control of Georgia Power; accordingly, there can be no assurance that such
suggested results will be realized. The following factors, in addition to those discussed in Georgia Power’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and subsequent securities filings, could cause actual results to differ
materially from management expectations as suggested by such forward-looking information: the impact of recent and future
federal and state regulatory changes, as well as changes in application of existing laws and regulations; current and future
litigation, regulatory investigations, proceedings, or inquiries; effects of inflation; ability to control costs and avoid cost
overruns during the development and construction of the Plant Vogtle expansion, to construct facilities in accordance with
the requirements of permits and licenses, and to satisfy any operational and environmental performance standards; state and
federal rate regulations and the impact of future rate cases and negotiations; regulatory approvals and actions related to the
Plant Vogtle expansion, including Georgia Public Service Commission approvals, Nuclear Regulatory Commission actions,
and potential U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantees; the inherent risks involved in operating and constructing nuclear
generating facilities, including environmental, health, regulatory, natural disaster, terrorism, or financial risks; the ability of
counterparties of Georgia Power to make payments as and when due and to perform as required; the direct or indirect effect
on Georgia Power’s business resulting from terrorist incidents and the threat of terrorist incidents, including cyber intrusion;
interest rate fluctuations and financial market conditions and the results of financing efforts, including Georgia Power’s
credit ratings; the impact of any potential U.S. credit rating downgrade or other sovereign financial issue, including impacts
on interest rates, access to capital markets, impacts on currency exchange rates, counterparty performance, and the
economy in general, as well as potential impacts on the availability or benefits of proposed U.S. Department of Energy loan
guarantees; and catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, floods, hurricanes, droughts, pandemic health
events such an influenzas, or other similar occurrences. Georgia Power expressly disclaims any obligation to update any
forward-looking information.

7. NRC/Industry Response to Fukushima
• Industry took immediate actions.
• NRC took immediate actions: Near term Task Force
(NTTF).
• The NTTF recommended a series of actions to be taken
by each licensee, and provided a series of orders and
rulemaking.
• These actions were grouped into 3 Tier’s to address
immediate response and limited resources.
7

8. Section 7
Acknowledged the AP1000 passive
safety systems and that their
passive designs and inherent 72-
hour coping capability for core,
containment, and spent fuel pool
cooling with no operator action
required, have many of the design
features and attributes necessary to
address the Task Force
recommendations.
NRC Response to Fukushima

9. • AC power not required for safe shutdown
• Operator actions not required for 72
hours to maintain core and containment
cooling
• Designed for core to stay in reactor and
remain covered with water
• The NRC’s Fukushima 90-day Task
Force noted that the AP1000 already met
most of its recommendations

20. Fukushima Impacts to Vogtle 3&4
• With AP1000 design, Vogtle Units 3&4 were EXEMPT from some
NTTF Recommendations.
– NTTF 2.1 and 2.3 (Seismic/Flooding re-evaluations and Seismic/Flooding
walkdowns).
– NTTF 5.1 Reliable Hardened Containment Vents.
• Other NTTF Tier 1 recommendations requirements are less
intensive for Vogtle 3&4, due to the design.
• Location as well as design of Vogtle Units 3&4 are important in
considering impacts.

21. NTTF Tier 1 Activities and Status
Vogtle 3&4
• 10 CFR 50.54 (f) Letter
• 9.3 Enhanced EP Staffing and Communications
