How many nuclear power plants are in Georgia?

2, with 7 GW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 2 counties. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.

Is there a map of Georgia nuclear power plants?

Yes — the map above. Each dot is one nuclear power plant, sized by nameplate capacity and placed at the coordinates EIA files for it.

Which is the largest nuclear power plant in Georgia?

Vogtle, at 5 GW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.

Is there a nuclear power plant near me in Georgia?

The county roll-up below groups every plant by county, which is the quickest way to find the one closest to a given town.

Which grid operator runs Georgia's nuclear power plants?

No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Georgia is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.

How current is this, and what is left out?

EIA-860M for 2026-07. EIA technology "Nuclear" — commercial reactors reporting on EIA-860M. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
