Vogtle 3 & 4 Update In the summer of 2018, Southern Nuclear notified the co-owners that projected costs to complete construction had increased by approximately $2.3 billion, and included these increased costs in its VCM 19* filing with the Georgia PSC. Oglethorpe’s share of this is $690 million. There was no change to the 2021 and 2022 project completion dates. This triggered a requirement for a 90% co-owner vote to continue construction. In connection with its vote to continue construction with Vogtle 3&4, Oglethorpe approved a revised $7.5 billion budget for its 30% interest. In addition to construction costs, this budget includes project-level contingency and Oglethorpe-level contingency as well as interest during construction. Additionally, Oglethorpe negotiated revisions to the joint ownership agreement: Georgia Power assumes an increasing portion of construction costs, subject to exceptions, that exceed VCM 19 + $800 million (equivalent to ~$7.5 billion for Oglethorpe) and is entitled to 60.7% of any cost savings. Oglethorpe has an option to freeze its investment should there be cost increases at the project level of more than $2.1 billion (equivalent to a ~$7.83 billion total project cost for Oglethorpe) by tendering a proportionate share of its ownership interest to Georgia Power. Oglethorpe has the option to sell its production tax credits (PTCs) to Georgia Power at a price of 88% - 98% of the nominal value thereof. The PTCs, which have an expected nominal value of $660 million, are generated in the 8 years following commercial operation. 4 *Filed on August 31, 2018
Oglethorpe’s investment as of September 30, 2018 was $3.6 billion. Oglethorpe’s new project budget is $7.5 billion as a result of recent cost increase approved by co-owners in September 2018. $3.6 billion spent through 9/30/2018 Forecast DEC 2011 DCD Final Rule Effective MAY 2005 Development Agreement MAR 2008 Filed COL with NRC APR 2006 Definitive Agreements MAY 2010 Signed DOE Conditional Term Sheet AUG 2006 Filed Early Site Permit (ESP) with NRC AUG 2009 NRC Issuance of ESP/LWA AUG 2011 NRC Completed Work on FSER for both AP1000 DCD and COL FEB 2012 COLs Issued MAR 2013 Unit 3 First Nuclear Concrete FEB 2014 Start of DOE Funding NOV 2013 Unit 4 First Nuclear Concrete NOV 2022 Unit 4 In-Service DEC 2015 Settlement Agreement with Contractors MAY 2021 Unit 3 Fuel Load MAY 2022 Unit 4 Fuel Load NOV 2021 Unit 3 In-Service 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2007 2008 2006 2005 2017 WEC Bankruptcy/ SNC Assumes project mgmt.

Income Statement Excerpts 11 With the adoption of Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) in 2018, Oglethorpe began assessing whether any revenue recorded in interim periods is likely to be refunded in the future. Oglethorpe expects its Board to approve a budget adjustment(s) by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 which will result in the refund of revenue in excess of that required to meet the targeted margins for interest ratio of 1.14. As a result of this assessment, Oglethorpe reduced revenues (or sales to members) by $20 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. In addition, the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 revenues (or sales to members) has been restated in accordance with Topic 606 to reflect a $15 million revenue reduction based on projections made at the time. Margins for Interest ratio is calculated on an annual basis and is determined by dividing Oglethorpe’s Margins for Interest by Interest Charges, both as defined in Oglethorpe’s First Mortgage Indenture. The Indenture obligates Oglethorpe to establish and collect rates that, subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, are reasonably expected to yield a Margins for Interest ratio equal to at least 1.10 for each fiscal year. In addition, the Indenture requires Oglethorpe to show that it has met this requirement for certain historical periods as a condition for issuing additional obligations under the Indenture. Oglethorpe increased its Margins for Interest ratio to 1.14 each year, starting in 2010, above the minimum 1.10x ratio required by the Indenture, and the 2018 and 2019 budgets also include a 1.14 Margins for Interest ratio. Oglethorpe’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate margin coverage throughout the Vogtle construction period and may chose to further increase, or decrease, the Margins for Interest ratio in the future, although not below 1.10.

Balance Sheet Excerpts (a) The equity ratio is calculated, pursuant to Oglethorpe’s First Mortgage Indenture, by dividing patronage capital and membership fees by total capitalization plus unamortized debt issuance costs and bond discounts and long-term debt due within one year (Total Long-Term Debt and Equities in the table above). Oglethorpe has no financial covenant requirement it to maintain a minimum equity ratio; however, a covenant in the Indenture restricts distributions of equity (patronage capital) to its Members if its equity ratio is below 20%. Oglethorpe also has a covenant in two credit agreements that currently requires a minimum total patronage capital of $750 million. The equity ratio is less than that of many investor-owned utilities because Oglethorpe operates on a not-for-profit basis and has a significant amount of authority to set and change rates to ensure sufficient cost recovery to produce margins to meet financial coverage requirements. 12 September 30, December 31, ($ in thousands) 2018 2017 2016 Balance Sheet Data: Assets: Electric Plant: Net Plant in Service $4,543,804 $4,584,075 $4,671,500 CWIP 3,633,520 2,935,868 3,228,214 Nuclear Fuel 343,285 358,562 377,653 Total Electric Plant $8,520,609 $7,878,505 $8,277,367 Investments, Current Assets and Deferred Charges 3,296,159 3,049,634 2,423,746 Total Assets $11,816,768 $10,928,139 $10,701,113 Capitalization: Patronage Capital and Membership Fees $967,106 $911,087 $859,810 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Deficit - - (370) Subtotal $967,106 $911,087 $859,440 Long-term Debt and Obligations under Capital Leases $8,370,740 $8,014,754 $7,984,932 Other 21,077 20,051 18,765 Total Capitalization $9,358,923 $8,945,892 $8,863,137 Plus: Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs and Bond Discounts on LT debt $95,382 $95,613 $101,261 Plus: Long-term Debt and Capital Leases due within one year 559,686 216,694 316,861 Total Long-Term Debt and Equities $10,013,991 $9,258,199 $9,281,259 Equity Ratio(a) 9.7% 9.8% 9.3%
In September 2017, Oglethorpe received a conditional commitment from the DOE in the amount of $1.62 billion for an additional loan guarantee for Vogtle 3&4. If closed, this increases Oglethorpe’s DOE loan financing from $3.06 billion to $4.68 billion. Initial estimate of subsidy fee for new loan is zero (same as original DOE loan). Closing is anticipated in Q1 2019. Savings estimates for this loan are ~$200 million net present value; combined with the first loan, net present value savings expected to exceed $500 million. Final approval of additional commitment is subject to various conditions and cannot be assured. Vogtle 3 & 4 Financing Plan Source Without New DOE Loan With New DOE Loan Taxable Bonds (issued 2009-2018) $1.89 billion $1.89 billion Existing DOE Loan (2014) $3.06 billion $3.06 billion(a) New DOE Loan (2019) --------------- $1.62 billion(a) Future Taxable Bonds $2.55 billion(b) $0.93 billion(b) Total $7.50 billion $7.50 billion New DOE Loan for Vogtle 3 & 4 Represents the full amounts of these loans, however, advances may not occur after December 31, 2020 for the 2014 loan and November 30, 2023 for the 2019 loan, so, depending on timing of construction payments, we may be unable to fully advance both facilities. We expect to use additional taxable bonds for amounts, if any, not fully advanced under these loan facilities. These amounts would be reduced by unspent contingency, if any, Member expensed interest during construction, and investment earnings from the Toshiba guarantee payment. 13
An amendment made to the DOE loan agreement in July 2017 suspended our ability to advance funds under this loan until certain conditions are met (last advance was in December 2016). These conditions include approval and incorporation of the Bechtel agreement and other replacement agreements into the loan agreements as well approval of new budget and joint ownership agreement amendments. Oglethorpe received a conditional commitment for a new $1.62 billion DOE loan. Conditional commitment expires March 31, 2019. If closed, this increases Oglethorpe’s DOE loan financing from $3.06 billion to $4.68 billion. Final approval of additional commitment is subject to various conditions and cannot be assured.
