Generating units
| Unit | Technology | Nameplate | Summer | Online | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GEN5 | Wood/Wood Waste Biomass | 30 MW | 28 MW | 1971 | Operating |
| GEN6 | Wood/Wood Waste Biomass | 27 MW | 25 MW | 1982 | Operating |
| GEN4 | Wood/Wood Waste Biomass | 7.5 MW | 7.0 MW | 1957 | Operating |
| GEN2 | Wood/Wood Waste Biomass | 5.0 MW | 4.7 MW | 1954 | Operating |
Nameplate is the maximum rated output; summer capacity is what the unit can reliably deliver on a hot day, which is typically lower.

About this data
From EIA’s inventory of operable generators, May 2026 release. Capacity is nameplate — the maximum rated output of the equipment, not what the plant actually generates over a year, which depends on how often it runs. A 70 MW solar plant and a 70 MW nuclear plant have the same entry here and produce very different amounts of electricity.
“In service since” is the earliest in-service date among the units still listed, so a site rebuilt around newer equipment can read as younger than the site itself. All Georgia power plants · What Georgia actually generates
