CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate to occur in the future, including matters such as future capital expenditures, business strategy, regulatory actions, and development, construction or operation of facilities (often, but not always, identified through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "projection," "target" and "outlook") are forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that in making these forward-looking statements our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are described under "Item 1A—RISK FACTORS" and in other sections of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report may not occur.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this quarterly report, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to:
cost increases and schedule delays with respect to our capital improvement and construction projects, such as our two new natural gas-fired generation facilities, our battery storage resources, the closure of coal ash ponds and any other future generation projects we may undertake;

costs associated with achieving and maintaining compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those related to air emissions, water and coal combustion byproducts;

the impact of regulatory or legislative responses to climate change initiatives or efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide;
legislative and regulatory compliance standards and our ability to comply with any applicable standards, including mandatory reliability standards, and potential penalties for non-compliance;
our access to capital, the cost to access capital, and the results of our financing and refinancing efforts, including availability of funds in the capital markets;
the continued availability of funding from the Rural Utilities Service and the availability of funding under any federal loan or grant programs for which we received awards and our ability to meet the applicable loan or grant conditions and requirements;
increasing debt caused by significant capital expenditures;
unanticipated changes in capital expenditures, operating expenses and liquidity needs;
actions by credit rating agencies;
commercial banking and financial market conditions;

the impact of rapid load growth in our members’ service territories and decisions regarding the development of additional generation resources to meet the additional demand;

risks and regulatory requirements related to the ownership of nuclear facilities;
adequate funding of our nuclear and coal ash pond decommissioning funds including investment performance and projected decommissioning costs;
ii


continued efficient operation of our generation facilities by us and third-parties;

Oglethorpe Power Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(A)General.    The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and estimates necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Examples of estimates used include items related to (i) our asset retirement obligations, such as closure and post-closure cost estimates, timing of expenditures, escalation factors and discount rates, and (ii) depreciation rates, such as determining the depreciable service lives. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. As noted in our 2024 Form 10-K, our revenues consist primarily of sales to our 38 electric distribution cooperative members and, thus, the receivables on the consolidated balance sheets are principally from our members. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
(B)Fair Value.    Authoritative guidance regarding fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1.  Quoted prices from active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Quoted prices in active markets provide the most reliable evidence of fair value and are used to measure fair value whenever available. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments that are exchange-traded.

Level 2.  Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 2 primarily consists of financial instruments that are non-exchange-traded but have significant observable inputs.

Level 3.  Pricing inputs that include significant inputs which are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may include internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. Level 3 financial instruments are those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.
As required by the guidance, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:
1.Market approach.    The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business) and deriving fair value based on these inputs.

6


2.Income approach.    The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

3.Cost approach.    The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost). This approach assumes that the fair value would not exceed what it would cost a market participant to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.
The tables below detail assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Level 2 investments above may not be exchange traded. The fair value measurements for these investments are based on a market approach, including the use of observable inputs at or near the valuation date. Common inputs include reported trades and broker/dealer bid/ask prices.
The Level 3 investments above in corporate bonds and debt consist of investments in bank loans which are not exchange traded. Although these securities may be liquid and priced daily, their inputs are not observable.
The estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 and is estimated based on observed or quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on current rates offered to us for debt of similar maturities. The primary sources of our long-term debt consist of first mortgage bonds, pollution control revenue bonds and long-term debt issued by the Federal Financing Bank that is guaranteed by the Rural Utilities Service or the U.S. Department of Energy. The valuations for the first mortgage bonds and the pollution control revenue bonds were obtained from a third party data

reporting service, and are based on secondary market trading of our debt. Valuations for debt issued by the Federal Financing Bank are based on U.S. Treasury rates as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 plus an applicable spread, which reflects our borrowing rate for new loans of this type from the Federal Financing Bank.
For cash and cash equivalents and receivables, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.
(C)Derivative Instruments.    We use commodity derivatives to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the market price of natural gas. Our risk management and compliance committee provides general oversight over all derivative activities. We do not apply hedge accounting to derivative transactions, but instead apply regulated operations accounting. Consistent with our rate-making, unrealized gains or losses on our natural gas swaps are reflected as regulatory assets or liabilities, as appropriate. Realized gains and losses on natural gas swaps are included in fuel expense within our consolidated statements of revenues and expenses and, therefore, net margins within our consolidated statement of cash flows.
We are exposed to credit risk as a result of entering into these arrangements. Credit risk is the potential loss resulting from a counterparty's nonperformance under an agreement. We have established policies and procedures to manage credit risk through counterparty analysis, exposure calculation and monitoring, exposure limits, collateralization and certain other contractual provisions.
It is possible that volatility in commodity prices could cause us to have credit risk exposures with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations, we could suffer a financial loss. However, as of June 30, 2025, all of the counterparties with transaction amounts outstanding under our derivative programs are rated investment grade by the major rating agencies or have provided a guaranty from one of their affiliates that is rated investment grade.
We have entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements with our natural gas derivative counterparties that mitigate credit exposure by creating contractual rights relating to creditworthiness, collateral, termination and netting (which, in certain cases, allows us to use the net value of affected transactions with the same counterparty in the event of default by the counterparty or early termination of the agreement).
Additionally, we have implemented procedures to monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties and to evaluate nonperformance in valuing counterparty positions. We have contracted with a third party to assist in monitoring certain of our counterparties' credit standing and condition. Net liability positions are generally not adjusted as we use derivative transactions as hedges and have the ability and intent to perform under each of our contracts. In the instance of net asset positions, we consider general market conditions and the observable financial health and outlook of specific counterparties, forward looking data such as credit default swaps, when available, and historical default probabilities from credit rating agencies in evaluating the potential impact of nonperformance risk to derivative positions.
The contractual agreements contain provisions that could require us or the counterparty to post collateral or credit support. The amount of collateral or credit support that could be required is calculated as the difference between the aggregate fair value of the hedges and pre-established credit thresholds. The credit thresholds are contingent upon each party's credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty.
Under the natural gas swap arrangements, we pay the counterparty a fixed price for specified natural gas quantities and receive a payment for such quantities based on a market price index. These payment obligations are netted, such that if the market price index is lower than the fixed price, we will make a net payment, and if the market price index is higher than the fixed price, we will receive a net payment.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair values of our natural gas contracts were net assets of approximately $36,027,000 and $28,624,000, respectively.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, two of our counterparties were required to post credit collateral totaling $1,640,000 and $500,000, respectively, under our natural gas swap agreements. Such posted collateral is classified as restricted cash and included in the Restricted cash and short-term investments line item within our unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The cost basis of our debt securities that were in unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2025 was $538,817,000. At June 30, 2025, $1,144,000 of the $10,635,000 of unrealized losses relates to securities that have been in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months and $9,491,000 relates to securities that have been in unrealized loss positions for greater than twelve months. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to increases in market interest rates.

The cost basis of our debt securities that were in unrealized loss positions at December 31, 2024 was $688,233,000. At December 31, 2024, $2,874,000 of the $17,336,000 of unrealized losses relates to securities that have been in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months and $14,462,000 relates to securities that have been in unrealized loss positions for greater than twelve months. These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to increases in market interest rates.
(E)Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.   In December 2023, the FASB amended "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in this update requires additional disclosures related to the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other amendments intended to improve effectiveness and comparability. The amendments in this update are effective for us for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the future impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, however, we do not anticipate the impact will be significant.
In November 2024, the FASB issued "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The new standard is effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early

adoption is permitted and the new standard may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
(F)Revenue Recognition.    As an electric membership cooperative, our principal business is providing wholesale electric service to our members. Our operating revenues are derived primarily from wholesale power contracts we have with each of our 38 members that extend to December 31, 2085. These contracts are substantially identical and obligate our members jointly and severally to pay all expenses associated with owning and operating our power supply business. As a cooperative, we operate on a not-for-profit basis and, accordingly, seek only to generate revenues sufficient to recover our cost of service and to generate margins sufficient to establish reasonable reserves and meet certain financial coverage requirements. We also sell energy and capacity to non-members through industry standard contracts and negotiated agreements, respectively. We do not have multiple operating segments.
Pursuant to our contracts, we primarily provide two services, capacity and energy. Capacity and energy revenues are recognized by us upon transfer of control of promised services to our members and non-members in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. Capacity and energy are distinct and we account for them as separate performance obligations. The obligations to provide capacity and energy are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of these services. Both performance obligations are provided directly by us and not through a third party.
Each of our members is obligated to pay us for capacity and energy we furnish under the wholesale power contract in accordance with rates we establish. We review our rates periodically but are required to do so at least once every year. Revenues from our members are derived through a cost-plus rate structure which is set forth as a formula in the rate schedule to the wholesale power contracts. The formulary rate provides for the pass-through of our (i) fixed costs (net of any income from other sources) plus a targeted margin as capacity revenues and (ii) variable costs as energy revenues from our members. Power purchase and sale agreements between us and non-members obligate each non-member to pay us for capacity, if any, and energy furnished in accordance with the prices mutually agreed upon. Margins produced from non-member sales are included in our rate schedule formula and reduce revenue requirements from our members. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any significant long-term contracts with non-members.
The consideration we receive for providing capacity services is determined by our formulary rate on an annual basis. The components of the formulary rate associated with capacity costs include the annual budget of fixed costs, a targeted margin and income from other sources. Capacity revenues, therefore, vary to the extent these components vary. Fixed costs include items such as fixed operation and maintenance expenses, administrative and general expenses, depreciation and interest. Year to year, capacity revenue fluctuations are generally due to the recovery of fixed operation and maintenance expenses. Fixed costs also include certain costs, such as major maintenance costs, which will be recognized as expense in future periods. Recognition of revenues associated with these future expenses is deferred pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980, Regulated Operations. The regulatory liabilities are amortized to revenue in accordance with the associated revenue deferral plan as the expenses are recognized. For information regarding regulatory accounting, see Note J.
Capacity revenues are recognized by us for standing ready to deliver electricity to our customers. Our capacity revenues are based on the associated costs we expect to recover in a given year and are generally recognized and billed to our members in equal monthly installments over the course of the year regardless of whether our generation and purchased power resources are dispatched to produce electricity. Non-member capacity revenues are billed and recognized in accordance with the terms of the associated contract.
We have a power bill prepayment program pursuant to which our members may prepay future capacity costs and receive a discount. As this program provides us with financing, we adjust our capacity revenues by the amount of the discount, which is based on our avoided cost of borrowing. For additional information regarding our member prepayment program, see Note K.
We satisfy our performance obligations to deliver energy as energy is delivered to the applicable meter points. We determine the standard selling price for energy we deliver to our members based upon the variable costs incurred to generate or purchase that energy. Fuel expense is the primary variable cost. Energy revenue recognized equals the actual variable expenses incurred in any given accounting period. Our member energy revenues fluctuate from period to period based on several factors, including fuel costs, weather and other seasonal factors, load requirements in our members' service territories, variable operating costs, the availability of electric generation resources, our decisions of whether to dispatch our owned or purchased resources or member-owned resources over which we have dispatch rights, and by members' decisions of whether to purchase a portion of their hourly energy requirements from our resources or from other suppliers. The standard selling price for our energy revenues from non-members is the price mutually agreed upon.
12


We are required under our first mortgage indenture to produce a margins for interest ratio of at least 1.10 for each fiscal year. For 2024 and 2025, our board of directors approved budgets to achieve a 1.14 and 1.10 margins for interest ratio, respectively. Historically, our board of directors has approved adjustments to revenue requirements by year end such that revenue in excess of that required to meet the targeted margins for interest ratio is refunded to the members. Given that our capacity revenues are based upon budgeted expenditures and generally recognized and billed to our members in equal monthly installments over the course of the year, we may recognize capacity revenues that exceed our actual fixed costs and targeted margins in any given interim reporting period. At each interim reporting period we assess our projected revenue requirements through year end to determine whether a refund to our members of excess consideration is likely. If so, we reduce our capacity revenues and recognize a refund liability to our members. Refund liabilities, if any, are included in accounts payable on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we recognized refund liabilities totaling $6,250,000 and $12,900,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we recognized refund liabilities totaling $55,914,000. Based on our current agreements with non-members, we do not refund any consideration received from non-members.

Total$32,058 $1,823 $41,333 $2,767 
Energy revenues from non-members for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were primarily from the sale of the BC Smith Energy Facility deferring members' output into the wholesale market.
Our receivables from non-members at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $61,325,000 and $68,791,000, respectively. Our non-member receivables are primarily related to transactions with Georgia Power, including from the nuclear storage litigation judgments, non-members for the sale of the BC Smith deferring members' output, affiliated companies and investment income. Our Georgia Power receivables at December 31, 2024 included $39,433,000 related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs litigation which was fully collected in the first quarter of 2025. For additional information regarding this litigation, see Note 1g in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Electric capacity and energy revenues are recognized by us without any obligation for returns, warranties or taxes collected. As our members are jointly and severally obligated to pay all expenses associated with owning and operating our power supply business and we perform an on-going assessment of the credit worthiness of non-members and have not had a history of any write-offs from non-members, we have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with our receivables from members or non-members.
In 2018, we began a rate management program that allowed us to recover future expense on a current basis from our members. In general, the program allowed for additional collections over a five-year period with those amounts then applied to billings over the subsequent five-year period. The program is designed primarily as a mechanism to assist our members in managing the rate impacts associated with the commercial operation of the new Vogtle units. During the first quarter of 2022, we began applying billing credits to some of our participating members within this program. In
13


December 2022, collections from our members ended for this rate management program. Under this program, net billing credits to participating members during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $48,464,000 and $60,818,000, respectively. Funds collected through this program are invested and held until applied to members' bills. Investments that mature and are expected to be applied to members' bills within the next twelve months are included in the Short-term investments line item within our unaudited consolidated balance sheets. In conjunction with this program, we applied regulated operations accounting to defer these revenues and related investment income on the funds collected. Amounts deferred under the program are amortized to income when applied to members' bills. The net cumulative amount billed since inception of the program totaled $369,102,000. As of June 30, 2025, our remaining liability to be credited to our members' bills was $153,527,000. For additional information regarding our revenue deferral plan, see Note J.
(G)Leases.    As a lessee, we have a relatively small portfolio of leases with the most significant being our 60% undivided interest in Scherer Unit No. 2 and railcar leases for the transportation of coal. We also have various other leases of minimal value.
We classify our four Scherer Unit No. 2 leases as finance leases and our railcar leases as operating leases. We have made an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases, leases having an initial term of 12 months or less, for any class of underlying asset. We recognize lease expense for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense recognized for our short-term leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was insignificant.
Finance Leases
Three of our Scherer Unit No. 2 finance leases have lease terms through December 31, 2027, and one lease extends through June 30, 2031. At the end of the leases, we can elect at our sole discretion to:
Renew the leases for a period of not less than one year and not more than five years at fair market value,
Purchase the undivided interest at fair market value, or
Redeliver the undivided interest to the lessors.
For rate-making purposes, we include the actual lease payments for our finance leases in our cost of service. The difference between lease payments and the aggregate of the amortization on the right-of-use asset and the interest on the finance lease obligation is recognized as a regulatory asset. Finance lease amortization is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense.
Operating Leases
Our railcar operating leases have terms that extend through November 30, 2028. At the end of the railcar operating leases, we can renew at terms mutually agreeable by us and the lessors, purchase the assets or return the assets to the lessors. We have additional operating leases including one for office equipment that has a term extending through November 30, 2029 and one for real property at one of our electric generating facilities that has a term extending through February 2042 with one renewal option for a 20 year term.
The exercise of renewal options for our finance and operating leases is at our sole discretion.
As all of our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the time new lease agreements are entered into or reassessed to determine the present value of lease payments.

(H)Contingencies and Regulatory Matters.    We do not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, for any current proceedings against us will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, at this time, the ultimate outcome of any pending or potential litigation cannot be determined.
Environmental Matters.    As is typical for electric utilities, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws which represent significant future risks and uncertainties. Air emissions, water discharges and water usage are extensively controlled, closely monitored and periodically reported. Handling and disposal requirements govern the manner of transportation, storage and disposal of various types of waste. We may also become subject to climate change regulations that impose restrictions on emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide.
Such requirements may substantially increase the cost of electric service, by requiring modifications in the design or operation of existing facilities or the purchase of emission allowances. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in civil and criminal penalties and could include the complete shutdown of individual generating units not in compliance. Certain of our debt instruments require us to comply in all material respects with laws, rules, regulations and orders imposed by applicable governmental authorities, which include current and future environmental laws or regulations. Should we fail to be in compliance with these requirements, it would constitute a default under those debt instruments. We believe that we are in compliance with those environmental regulations currently applicable to our
16


business and operations. Although it is our intent to comply with current and future regulations, we cannot provide assurance that we will always be in compliance.
At this time, the ultimate impact of any new and more stringent environmental regulations described above is uncertain and could have an effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of future additional capital expenditures and increased operations and maintenance costs.
Additionally, litigation over environmental issues and claims of various types, including property damage, personal injury, common law nuisance, and citizen enforcement of environmental requirements such as air quality and water standards, has increased generally throughout the United States. In particular, personal injury and other claims for damages caused by alleged exposure to hazardous materials, and common law nuisance claims for injunctive relief, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by coal combustion residue, greenhouse gas and other emissions have become more frequent.
(I)Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments.
Restricted cash consists of collateral posted by our counterparties under our natural gas swap agreements.

(J)Regulatory Assets and Liabilities.    We apply the accounting guidance for regulated operations. Regulatory assets represent certain costs that are probable of recovery through future rates. We expect to recover such costs from our members in future revenues through rates under the wholesale power contracts we have with each of our members. The wholesale power contracts extend through December 31, 2085. Regulatory liabilities represent certain items of income that we are retaining and that will be applied in the future to reduce revenues required to be recovered from our members.

The discounts are credited against the power bills and are recorded as a reduction to member revenues. The prepayments are being credited against members' power bills through December 2028, with the majority of the balance scheduled to be credited by the end of 2026.
(L)Debt.
a)Department of Energy Loan Guarantee:
In connection with the development and construction of Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4, we and the Department of Energy and the Federal Financing Bank entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which we borrowed $4,633,028,000. As of June 30, 2025, we have repaid $648,407,000 of principal on the notes related to these borrowings and the aggregate Department of Energy-guaranteed borrowings outstanding, including capitalized interest, totaled $3,984,621,000. The final maturity date is February 20, 2044.
b)Rural Utilities Service Guaranteed Loans:
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we received advances on Rural Utilities Service-guaranteed Federal Financing Bank loans totaling $68,435,000 for long-term financing of general and environmental improvements at existing plants.
In July 2025, we received an additional $55,863,000 in advances on Rural Utilities Service-guaranteed Federal Financing Bank loans for long-term financing of general and environmental improvements at existing plants.
c)Green First Mortgage Bonds:
In January 2025, we issued $350,000,000 of 5.900% green first mortgage bonds, Series 2025A, to provide for long-term financing or refinancing of expenditures related to Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4, including refinancing principal payments on our Department of Energy-guaranteed loans that were made prior to Vogtle Unit No. 4's in-service date. In conjunction with the issuance of the bonds, we repaid $254,463,000 of outstanding commercial paper. The bonds are due to mature in February 2055 and are secured under our first mortgage indenture.
d)Pollution Control Revenue Bonds:
In February 2025, we remarketed $312,760,000 of term-rate pollution control revenue bonds that were issued on our behalf by the Development Authorities of Appling, Burke and Monroe Counties which were subject to mandatory tender at that time. This included $272,230,000 of Burke and Monroe bonds which we remarketed as five-year term-rate bonds at a rate of 3.60% through February 2030, and $40,530,000 of Series 2013A Appling bonds, which we converted to a variable weekly rate mode without external credit or liquidity support. In the weekly rate mode, bondholders may tender their bonds for purchase at any time upon at least seven days' notice, and we made an election under these bonds that obligates us to pay the purchase price of the bonds tendered for purchase that are not remarketed. Since the Series 2013A Appling bonds now contain a provision that could accelerate their payment to the current year under certain circumstances, at December 31, 2024, we reclassified these bonds from the Long-term debt line item to the Long-term debt and finance leases due within one year line item within our consolidated balance sheets.

Our obligation to pay the principal and interest on all these pollution control bonds is secured under our first mortgage indenture, and additionally, our obligation to pay the purchase price on the Series 2013A Appling bonds is also secured under our first mortgage indenture.

(M)Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4.  We, Georgia Power, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG), and the City of Dalton, Georgia, acting by and through its Board of Water, Light and Sinking Fund Commissioners, doing business as Dalton Utilities (collectively, the Co-owners) are parties to an Ownership Participation Agreement that, along with other agreements, governs our participation in two additional nuclear units at Plant Vogtle, Units No. 3 and No. 4. The Co-owners appointed Georgia Power to act as agent under this agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, Georgia Power has designated Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. as its agent for licensing, engineering, procurement and contract management.
19



Georgia Power placed Unit No. 3 in service on July 31, 2023 and placed Unit No. 4 in service on April 29, 2024. Georgia Power has reported that, as of June 30, 2025, site demobilization efforts were largely complete and that it is finalizing remaining contractor obligations.

Our ownership interest and proportionate share of the cost to construct Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4 is 30%, representing approximately 727 megawatts of nameplate capacity, as constructed. As of June 30, 2025, our actual costs related to the new Vogtle units were approximately $8.3 billion, net of $1.1 billion we received from Toshiba Corporation under a Guarantee Settlement Agreement and approximately $445 million we received from Georgia Power pursuant to the cost-sharing provisions in a settlement agreement with Georgia Power.

For additional information regarding our participation in Plant Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4, see Note 8 in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Plant Vogtle Unit No. 3 and No. 4 Production Tax Credits

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we sold Georgia Power approximately $44,800,000 of nuclear production tax credits ("NPTCs"), earned by us pursuant to Section 45J of the Internal Revenue Code and recognized the amounts as credits to the Production expense line item within our consolidated statements of revenues and expenses. In 2023 and 2024, since Plant Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4 were placed in service, we sold Georgia Power approximately $21,700,000 and $72,600,000, respectively, of nuclear production tax credits.
(N)Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The financial assets we hold that are subject to credit losses (Topic 326) are predominately accounts receivable and certain cash equivalents classified as held-to-maturity debt (e.g. commercial paper). Our receivables are generally due within thirty days or less with a significant portion related to billings to our members. See Note F for information regarding our member receivables. Commercial paper we invest in is rated as investment grade. Given our historical experience, the short duration lifetime of these financial assets and the short time horizon over which to consider expectations of future economic conditions, we have assessed that non-collection of the cost basis of these financial assets is remote and we have not recognized an allowance for credit losses.
(O)Asset Retirement Obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, no change in cash flow estimates related to nuclear or coal ash related asset retirement obligations was recorded. We expect to receive more refined estimates from Georgia Power regarding closure costs and the timing of coal ash expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2025.

(P)Natural Gas Capacity Agreements.

We have precedent agreements with Southern Natural Gas Company, LLC (SONAT) that became effective in August 2024. The agreements provide for firm natural gas transportation needed to serve our new Smarr combined cycle generation facility and additional firm transportation to BC Smith. In November 2024, we exercised options to increase the available amounts under the precedent agreements to provide additional natural gas supply to the new Smarr facility. The firm transportation capacity is contingent upon completion of these expansion projects by SONAT. With the exercise of the options noted above, total fixed charges over the 20-year base terms will be approximately $2,100,000,000. Our obligation to make payments begins when the pipeline expansion projects are placed into service, both of which are projected to be November 2028.

In October 2024, we entered into a preliminary binding agreement with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. to commit for natural gas capacity for the Mississippi Crossing gas pipeline. In May 2025, we amended this agreement to reflect final capacity amounts and delivery points. This agreement will provide capacity for both existing and future resources. The firm transportation capacity is contingent upon completion of this expansion project. Total fixed charges over the 20-year base term are approximately $1,000,000,000. Our obligation to make payments begins when the pipeline project is placed into service, which is projected to be November 2028.

(Q)Reportable Segment Information. An operating segment is generally defined as a component of a business for which discrete financial information is available and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). We report our segment information in the same way that management internally organizes our business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We have one reportable operating segment.

As an electric membership cooperative, our single reportable operating segment is providing wholesale electric service to our members, primarily from our diverse energy portfolio of generation assets. Our operating revenues are derived primarily from wholesale power contracts we have with each of our 38 members. Pursuant to our contracts, we primarily provide two services, capacity and energy.

20


Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is identified as our President and Chief Executive Officer because our CODM has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Due to our diverse energy portfolio of generation assets, our CODM regularly receives and uses discrete financial information about our single reportable segment in our CODM's performance assessment and resource allocation decisions, predominantly in the budgeting and forecasting process.

Our CODM manages our business on a consolidated basis and uses "net margin" as reported within our consolidated statements of revenues and expenses to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment net margin is determined on the same basis as net margin presented within our consolidated financial statements.

Within our reportable operating segment, there are significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM and included in the measure of our segment’s net margin. Our reportable segment's significant expenses include fuel expense, production expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense as reported within our consolidated statements of revenues and expenses and notes to our consolidated financial statements. Our CODM uses these identified significant segment expenses and other segment information, including capacity and energy sales to members and investment income when allocating resources accordingly and assessing performance of all our generating assets to provide environmentally responsible, safe, reliable and affordable electricity to our members.

Other segment expenses are comprised of purchased power, accretion, other income and expense, allowance for debt funds used during construction and amortization of debt discount and expense.

Fuel expense primarily includes nuclear fuel burn, coal inventory burn, natural gas purchases, natural gas transportation charges, and settlement of our natural gas derivatives.

Production expense primarily includes operation and maintenance, major maintenance outage expenses for our generating fleet of assets, and administrative and general expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expense is computed on additions when they are placed in service using the composite straight-line method and considered a significant segment expense as it is a measure of the remaining useful lives of our generating assets.

Interest expense is considered a significant segment expense as we are exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates relating to a portion of our debt.

The accounting policies of our reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of significant accounting policies.

The measure of our segment's assets is reported within our consolidated balance sheets as "total assets". Our segment asset line items, provided to our CODM, are consistent with those reported within our consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
We are a Georgia electric membership corporation (an EMC) incorporated in 1974 and headquartered in metropolitan Atlanta. We are owned by our 38 retail electric distribution cooperative members. Our members are consumer-owned distribution cooperatives providing retail electric service in Georgia on a not-for-profit basis. Our principal business is providing wholesale electric power to our members, which we provide primarily from our generation assets and, to a lesser extent, from power purchased from other suppliers. As with cooperatives generally, we operate on a not-for-profit basis.
We have a substantially similar wholesale power contract with each member that extends to December 31, 2085, and each contract will continue thereafter until terminated by three years' written notice by us or the respective member. For additional information regarding our wholesale power contracts with our members, see “Item 1–BUSINESS–OGLETHORPE POWER CORPORATION–Wholesale Power Contracts” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Net Margin
Our net margin for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 were $20.3 million and $63.3 million, compared to $24.2 million and $66.3 million for the same periods of 2024, respectively. Through June 30, 2025, we collected approximately 114% of our targeted net margin of $55.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2025. These collections are typical as our capacity revenues are generally recorded evenly throughout the year. We anticipate our board of directors will approve a budget adjustment by year end so that margins will achieve, but not exceed, the 2025 targeted margins for interest ratio of 1.10. As a result, we assessed our projected margin and annual revenue requirement to meet the targeted margins for interest ratio to determine if a refund liability should be recognized. As a result of this assessment, we recognized cumulative refund liabilities of $6.3 million and $12.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. For additional information regarding our net margin requirements and policy, see "Item 7–MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Summary of Cooperative Operations—Margins" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Operating Revenues
Our operating revenues fluctuate from period to period based on several factors, including fuel costs, weather and other seasonal factors, load requirements in our members' service territories, operating costs, availability of electric generation resources, our decisions of whether to dispatch our owned, purchased or member-owned resources over which we have dispatch rights and our members' decisions of whether to purchase a portion of their hourly energy requirements from our resources or from other suppliers, and sales to non-members.
Sales to Members.    We generate revenues principally from the sale of electric capacity and energy to our members. Capacity revenues are the revenues we receive for electric service whether or not our generation and purchased power resources are dispatched to produce electricity. These revenues are designed to recover the fixed costs associated with our business, including fixed production expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and interest charges, plus a targeted margin. Energy revenues are the sales of electricity generated or purchased for our members. Energy revenues recover the variable costs of our business, including fuel, purchased energy and variable operation and maintenance expense.

(1) Excludes test energy megawatt-hours from Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 supplied to members during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024. Any revenues and costs associated with test energy were capitalized.

Energy revenues from members increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to the increase in megawatt-hours sold to members and recovery of higher fuel costs. For a discussion of fuel costs, which are the primary costs recovered by energy revenues, see "—Operating Expenses." Capacity revenues from members increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to the recovery of increased fixed operating expenses, net interest expense and depreciation expense as a result of Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 being placed in service on April 29, 2024.

Sales to non-members.    Sales to non-members during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

(1) Excludes test energy megawatt-hours generated at Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024.

Total fuel costs increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 as a result of an increase in the average cost of fuel and an increase in generation for members. The increase in average fuel cost was primarily due to higher average natural gas prices during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 as prices have increased due to supply and demand pressures. The increase in generation was primarily due to the output from BC Smith, which underwent a major maintenance outage during the comparable periods in 2024, and from Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 being placed in service on April 29, 2024. Coal-fired generation increased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of the higher average natural gas prices, which caused generation from the coal-fired units to be relatively more economical. Coal-fired generation decreased slightly for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to temporary constraints on our ability obtain additional coal.
Based on initial meter readings, our member system hit a new summer peak demand of approximately 10,420 megawatts in July 2025, exceeding our members' prior summer peak of 10,092 megawatts in July 2024.
Production Expenses
Production costs increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily as a result of $23.7 million and $45.6 million in production costs related to Plant Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4, net of $20.4 million and $44.8 million in credits recognized during the respective periods from the sale of nuclear production tax credits to Georgia Power and the deferral of net margins associated with the BC Smith Energy Facility. These increases were offset by $13.1 million and $19.5 million in lower fixed major maintenance outage costs associated with our natural gas-fired facilities compared to the same periods in 2024. Production costs can also vary due to the number and extent of maintenance outages in a given year.

24


Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily as a result of Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 being placed in service on April 29, 2024.
Interest Charges
Net interest charges increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024 as a result of lower capitalized interest expense due to Plant Vogtle Unit No. 4 being placed in service on April 29, 2024.

Financial Condition
Balance Sheet Analysis as of June 30, 2025
Assets
Cash used for property additions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 totaled $388.1 million. Of this amount, construction work in progress increased $239.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to additions and replacements at our existing electric generating facilities as well as construction at our two new natural gas-fired generation resources. An additional $57.4 million was for nuclear fuel purchases and $21.1 million was associated with construction expenditures for Vogtle Unit No. 4. The remainder was for expenditures related to normal additions and replacements to our existing generation facilities.     

The $62.9 million increase in the nuclear decommissioning trust fund was primarily due to the increase in the fair market value of investments due to continued appreciation in the stock market during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Long-term investments decreased $19.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to $86.6 million redeemed to fund expenses associated with our revenue deferral rate management plan, which was designed primarily to assist our members in managing the rate impacts associated with the new Vogtle units, and to fund major maintenance outages expenses. Offsetting these decreases was $34.3 million of short-term investments reclassified to long-term investments, a $17.0 million increase in funds invested, including reinvestment of earnings, and a $16.0 million increase in fair market value. See Notes F and J of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our member rate management programs and regulatory liabilities.

Receivables increased $24.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to a $32.0 million increase in member receivables and a $12.9 million increase in other non-member receivables. Largely offsetting these increases was a $29.7 million decrease in Georgia Power receivables primarily related to spent nuclear fuel storage cost litigation.
Inventories decreased $17.0 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in fuel inventories of $16.5 million due to increased generation at our coal-fired units and the associated increase in coal burn.

Equity and Liabilities
Long-term debt and long-term debt and finance leases due within one year decreased $43.0 million. This was primarily the result of reclassifying $254.5 million of commercial paper, which was classified as long-term debt at December 31, 2024 due to the refinancing of that commercial paper by the issuance of the Series 2025A green first mortgage bonds in January 2025, to short-term borrowings and $204.5 million in debt service payments. Offsetting these decreases was the issuance of $350.0 million of our Series 2025A green first mortgage bonds and $68.4 million in advances under Rural Utilities Service-guaranteed loans. See Note L of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding long-term debt.
At June 30, 2025, short-term borrowings, which primarily provide interim financing for costs related to the Walton County acquisition, the new Smarr Combined Cycle and Talbot Unit No. 7 projects and the deferral of effects on net margin for BC Smith and the Washington County Power Plant, increased $80.6 million during the six- month period ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of borrowings of $85.1 million. At December 31, 2024, short-term borrowings were primarily related to interim financing for Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4 construction costs.
Accounts payable decreased $1.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to applying $55.9 million in credits to our members' bills in the first quarter of 2025 for a board-approved reduction in 2024 revenue in excess of the requirement to meet the 2024 targeted net margin offset by $31.1 million increase in payables for natural gas purchases and related transportation and a $17.2 million increase in Georgia Power payables.
25


Other current liabilities decreased $19.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of a $16.8 million decrease in accrued property taxes and a $5.4 million decrease in accrued payroll offset by $2.3 million increase in operating and maintenance liabilities and a $1.1 million increase in restricted cash posted by and due to counterparties under our natural gas swap agreements.

Capital Requirements and Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Future Power Resources
We and our members have approved the development and construction of an approximately 1,425-megawatt, two-unit combined cycle generation facility to be located on land we own adjacent to the Smarr Energy Facility in Monroe County, Georgia. Based on ongoing market volatility with regards to the development and construction of electric generation facilities, we have increased our preliminary cost estimate for this facility to approximately $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion. We anticipate finalizing the project budget by late summer after entering into an agreement for engineering, procurement, and construction services. The projected commercial operation date is 2029.

For additional information regarding other on-going capital projects, see "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Financial Condition—Capital Requirements and Liquidity and Sources of Capital—Other Future Power Resources" in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025. We and our members may also continue to consider additional generation resources in the future.

Environmental Regulations
Federal and state laws and regulations regarding environmental matters affect operations at our facilities. For a discussion regarding potential effects on our business from environmental regulations, including potential capital requirements, see "Item 1—BUSINESS—REGULATION—Environmental," "Item 1A—RISK FACTORS" and "Item 7—MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Financial Condition—Capital RequirementsCapital Expenditures" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
In May 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency published a final rule under Clean Air Act sections 111(b) and 111(d) to limit greenhouse gas emissions from new gas turbines and existing coal plants, respectively. This final rule replaces the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, which was vacated and remanded to EPA in 2021 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. As written, the final rule would likely adversely impact a portion of our coal and natural gas-fired generating units and have a significant impact on the U.S. power sector overall. Under the new rule, gas-fired turbines that operate above a 20% capacity factor are required to meet stringent carbon dioxide emissions standards, including adding carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) by January 1, 2032, for baseload units operating above a 40% capacity factor. Exiting coal plants are required to either 1) cease operations by January 1, 2032, with no additional restrictions; 2) co-fire with 40% natural gas by January 1, 2030, and operate to January 1, 2039; or 3) reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90% using CCS by January 1, 2032, to operate beyond January 1, 2039. However, the Trump administration has issued executive orders, among which include withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and revoking any attendant carbon dioxide emissions goals and commitments, and stated its intention to rescind, revise or replace some existing environmental regulations, which would include regulations for greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. On March 12, 2025, EPA announced that it would reconsider regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Additionally, EPA's final rule is being challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. In February 2025, the court granted EPA’s request that the court withhold issuing an opinion and hold the case in abeyance for 60 days while EPA determines how it wishes to proceed. On April 25, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted EPA's motion requesting a continuing abeyance of the litigation over the greenhouse gas rule EPA issued in 2024. EPA stated in its motion that it will issue a proposed reconsideration rule in spring 2025 and a final reconsideration rule by December 2025. On June 17, 2025, EPA published a proposed rule that included both a primary proposal to repeal all greenhouse gas standards for power plants, and an alternative proposal to repeal the standards for existing coal-fired plants and the CCS-based standards for new gas-fired combustion turbines, which would have required combustion turbines either to have CCS installed by 2032 or to limit operations to a 40% capacity factor or less beginning in 2032. Although we continue to evaluate the impact of EPA's greenhouse gas rule on our power plants, we cannot predict the outcome of any regulatory actions or the result of potential litigation challenging any of these actions.

In May 2024, the EPA published a final supplemental ELG rule, which generally increases the stringency of the wastewater discharge standards. Taken together, the ELG rule revisions are expected to increase capital and operating costs of affected units. However, because of the compliance strategy for Plant Scherer, we do not anticipate significant additional impacts related to more stringent requirements in the supplemental ELG rule. The 2024 supplemental ELG rule is being challenged in federal court. In February 2025, EPA requested, and the court granted, a 60-day abeyance to determine how EPA wishes to proceed with the litigation. Additionally, certain Trump administration executive orders direct EPA to develop and implement action plans that suspend, revise, or rescind certain environmental regulations. On March 12, 2025, EPA announced that it will
26


reconsider the supplemental ELG rule. We continue to monitor EPA's actions related to ELG; however, the ultimate impact is unknown at this time and subject to the outcome of ongoing litigation and any future EPA regulatory changes.

In 2024, EPA finalized amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which would have required Plant Scherer to install continuous emissions monitoring for filterable particulate matter by July 8, 2027. On April 8, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation, entitled “Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Energy,” granting an exemption of the 2024 MATS amendments to certain coal plants, including Plant Scherer, and extending their compliance date two years to July 8, 2029. Then, on June 17, 2025, EPA published a proposed rule to repeal the 2024 amendments to MATS. We continue to monitor the impact of recent MATS actions on Plant Scherer, but we cannot predict the outcome of any regulatory actions or the result of potential litigation challenging any of these actions.

Liquidity
At June 30, 2025, we had $1.8 billion of unrestricted available liquidity to meet our short-term cash needs and liquidity requirements. This amount included $263 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 billion available under our $1.7 billion of committed credit arrangements, the details of which are reflected in the table below:

(1)This facility is dedicated to support outstanding commercial paper and the portion of this facility that was unavailable represents the face value of outstanding commercial paper at June 30, 2025.

(2)Any amounts drawn under the $110 million unsecured line of credit with CFC will reduce the amount that can be drawn under the $250 million secured term loan. Therefore, we reflect $140 million as the amount available under the term loan even though there are no amounts outstanding under that facility. Any amounts borrowed under the $250 million term loan would be secured under our first mortgage indenture, with a maturity no later than December 31, 2043.
(3)At June 30, 2025, $2.5 million of this facility was used for letters of credit issued to provide performance assurance to third parties.

A portion of our unrestricted available liquidity is allocated to support $40.5 million of weekly variable rate bonds that do not have external credit or liquidity support. The holders of these bonds may tender their bonds for purchase upon seven days' notice, and we are obligated to purchase any of these bonds which are tendered for purchase and not remarketed.

We have the flexibility to use the $1.275 billion syndicated line of credit for several purposes, including borrowing for general corporate purposes, issuing letters of credit and backing up commercial paper.

Under our commercial paper program, we are authorized to issue commercial paper in amounts that do not exceed the amount of our committed backup lines of credit, thereby providing 100% dedicated support for any commercial paper outstanding. Due to this requirement, any commercial paper we issue will reduce the availability under the $1.3 billion syndicated line of credit. At June 30, 2025, our $227 million of outstanding commercial paper was primarily used to provide interim funding for:

costs related to the new Smarr Combined Cycle and Talbot Unit No. 7 projects,

costs related to the Walton County Power Plant acquisition, and

costs related to the deferral of effects on net margin of our recently acquired facilities: BC Smith, Baconton Power Plant, two units at the Washington County Power Plant and Walton County Power Plant.

Rural Utilities Service financing is our preferred source of long-term financing for the Walton County acquisition, and for the Smarr Combined Cycle and Talbot Unit No. 7 projects. We intend to issue first mortgage bonds to provide long-term financing for certain other costs, including any costs for the Smarr Combined Cycle and Talbot Unit No. 7 projects not financed by the
27


Rural Utilities Service, and for the deferral of effects on net margin of our recently acquired facilities. We may also seek intermediate-term financing for the Smarr Combined Cycle project to finance a portion of the costs of this project prior to arranging long-term financing.

Our unsecured committed lines of credit permit the issuance of up to $810 million in letters of credit on our behalf, of which $807 million remained available at June 30, 2025. This letter of credit issuance capacity includes $500 million under our $1.275 billion syndicated line of credit, $200 million under our JPMorgan Chase line of credit, and $110 million under our CFC line of credit. Between projected cash on hand and the credit arrangements currently in place, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to cover normal operations and our interim financing needs, including interim financing for the new natural gas resources, until intermediate or long-term financing is obtained.

Three of our credit facilities contain a financial covenant that requires us to maintain minimum levels of patronage capital. At June 30, 2025, the highest required minimum level was $900 million and our actual patronage capital balance was $1.4 billion. Two of these agreements contain an additional covenant that limits our unsecured indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreements, to $4 billion. At June 30, 2025, we had $226.2 million of unsecured indebtedness outstanding.
Under our power bill prepayment program, members can prepay their power bills from us at a discount for an agreed number of months in advance, after which point the funds are credited against the participating members' monthly power bills. At June 30, 2025, we had five members participating in the program and a balance of $82.0 million remaining to be applied against future power bills.

Financing Activities

First Mortgage Indenture. At June 30, 2025, we had $12.6 billion of long-term debt outstanding under our first mortgage indenture secured equally and ratably by a lien on substantially all of our owned tangible and certain of our intangible property, including property we acquire in the future. See "Item 1—BUSINESS—OGLETHORPE POWER CORPORATION—First Mortgage Indenture" in our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of our first mortgage indenture.

Department of Energy-Guaranteed Loans. We have loans from the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Department of Energy that provided funding for over $4.6 billion of the cost to construct our interest in Vogtle Units No. 3 and No. 4. We have fully advanced the $4.6 billion available under these loans. As of June 30, 2025, we had repaid $648.4 million and $4.0 billion remained outstanding. All of the debt advanced under the loan guarantee agreement is secured ratably with all other debt under our first mortgage indenture.
