  1. Energy Reality Checkfrom Georgia’s EMCs GMMSCA June 8, 2012

  2. Georgia’s Electric Suppliers • EMCs… • 42 Non-profit co-ops • Serve 50% of population • Serve 73% of land area • Over 183K miles of line • < 10 customer per mile • IOUs: 35/mile • Munis: 47/mile • 90% Residential • Jointly own generation plants with GPC & MEAG • Jointly own transmission grid with GPC & MEAG • 2010 revenue: $3.3 billion

  3. EMC “Family of Companies” • Oglethorpe Power Corp. • Founded 1974 • $7.2 billion in generation assets today • $11.4 billion in assets when Vogtle 3&4 online • Georgia Transmission Corp. • Founded 1974 • $2 billion in transmission assets • Owns approx. 33% of 16,000 mile ITS • Green Power EMC • Founded 2001

  4. Energy vs. Capacity

  5. Our Nation’s Electricity

  6. Which Plants Are Used Most?

  7. Energy Solutions? … a 2010 study found Germany’s average energy rates (32 cents / kWh) and energy taxes (41%) to be second highest in the EU, behind Denmark. Georgia’s rates averaged 9 cents per kWh.

  8. U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions… in a global perspective • U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions are projected to increase by an average of 0.2% per year from 2006 – 2030. Consequently, U.S. share of world CO2 emissions is projected to fall to 15.4% in 2030. • China’s share of global energy-related CO2 emissions is projected to grow from 21% in 2006 to 29% in 2030, and China accounts for 51% of projected world emissions over the period.

  9. OPC Emissions Achievements • 2010 OPC Emission Results • (when compared to 1994 baseline) • SO2 & NOx reduced 70% • NOx reduced almost 80% during ozone season • 2009 Mercury emissions decreased by more than 45% from 2000 levels • Reductions of 89% in SO2 and 44% in NOx from 2010 levels by 2015 • Mercury to decrease by additional 66% by 2015
