    CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential and expected effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, regulated rates, the strategic goals for the business, customer and sales growth, economic conditions, cost recovery and other rate actions, projected equity ratios, current and proposed environmental regulations and related compliance plans and estimated expenditures, pending or potential litigation matters, access to sources of capital, financing activities, completion dates and costs of construction projects, matters related to the abandonment of the Kemper IGCC, filings with state and federal regulatory authorities, and estimated construction plans and expenditures. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar terminology. There are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements; accordingly, there can be no assurance that such indicated results will be realized. These factors include:

    •the impact of recent and future federal and state regulatory changes, including tax, environmental, and other laws and regulations to which Southern Company and its subsidiaries are subject, as well as changes in application of existing laws and regulations;

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    (UNAUDITED)
    (A) INTRODUCTION
    The condensed quarterly financial statements of each Registrant included herein have been prepared by such Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Condensed Balance Sheets at December 31, 2020 have been derived from the audited financial statements of each Registrant. In the opinion of each Registrant's management, the information regarding such Registrant furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which, except as otherwise disclosed, are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although each Registrant believes that the disclosures regarding such Registrant are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures in the Form 10-K and details which have not changed significantly in amount or composition since the filing of the Form 10-K are generally omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q unless specifically required by GAAP. Therefore, these Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. Due to the seasonal variations in the demand for energy and other factors, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
    Certain prior year data presented in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the overall results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of any Registrant.
    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
    Goodwill at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was as follows:

    (b)Total may not add due to rounding.
    Natural Gas for Sale
    With the exception of Nicor Gas, Southern Company Gas' natural gas distribution utilities record natural gas inventories on a WACOG basis. For any declines in market prices below the WACOG considered to be other than temporary, an adjustment is recorded to reduce the value of natural gas inventories to market value. Nicor Gas' natural gas inventory is carried at cost on a LIFO basis. Inventory decrements occurring during the year that are restored prior to year end are charged to cost of natural gas at the estimated annual replacement cost. Inventory decrements that are not restored prior to year end are charged to cost of natural gas at the actual LIFO cost of the inventory layers liquidated.
    Southern Company Gas recorded no material adjustments to natural gas inventories for either period presented. Nicor Gas' inventory decrement at June 30, 2021 is expected to be restored prior to year end.

    Alabama Power
    Certificate of Convenience and Necessity
    Energy Alabama, Gasp, Inc., and the Sierra Club filed requests for reconsideration and rehearing with the Alabama PSC regarding the certificate of convenience and necessity (CCN) issued to Alabama Power in August 2020, which authorized, among other things, the construction of Plant Barry Unit 8 and the acquisition of the Central Alabama Generating Station. In December 2020, the Alabama PSC issued an order denying the requests. On January 7, 2021, Energy Alabama and Gasp, Inc. filed a judicial appeal regarding both the Alabama PSC's August 2020 CCN order and the December 2020 order denying reconsideration and rehearing. On March 9, 2021, the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Alabama granted a motion by Alabama Power to intervene in the appeal. At June 30, 2021, expenditures associated with the construction of Plant Barry Unit 8 included in CWIP totaled approximately $188 million. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

        Table of Contents                                Index to Financial Statements

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    Plant Greene County
    Alabama Power jointly owns Plant Greene County with an affiliate, Mississippi Power. See Note 5 under "Joint Ownership Agreements" in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.
    On April 15, 2021, Mississippi Power filed its 2021 IRP with the Mississippi PSC, which includes a schedule to retire its 40% ownership interest in Plant Greene County Units 1 and 2 in December 2025 and 2026, respectively, consistent with each unit's remaining useful life. Mississippi Power's IRP is subject to a review period during which the Mississippi PSC may note any deficiencies which could require re-evaluation or resubmission of the IRP. If no deficiencies are noted, the Mississippi PSC's review will conclude on August 13, 2021.
    The Plant Greene County unit retirements identified by Mississippi Power require the completion of transmission and system reliability improvements, as well as agreement by Alabama Power. Alabama Power will continue to monitor the status of Mississippi Power's IRP and associated regulatory processes, as well as the transmission and system reliability improvements. Currently, Alabama Power plans to retire Plant Greene County Units 1 and 2 at the dates indicated. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
    Rate NDR
    Based on an order from the Alabama PSC, when Alabama Power's NDR balance falls below $50 million, a reserve establishment charge will be activated and the ongoing reserve maintenance charge will be concurrently suspended until the NDR balance reaches $75 million. At June 30, 2021, Alabama Power's NDR balance was $36 million. As a result, effective with October 2021 billings, the reserve maintenance charge component of Rate NDR will be suspended and the reserve establishment charge will be activated. Alabama Power expects to collect approximately $4 million in the fourth quarter 2021 and $16 million annually under Rate NDR until the NDR balance is restored to $75 million.
    Georgia Power
    Rate Plan
    Effective January 1, 2021, Georgia Power reduced its amortization of costs associated with CCR AROs by approximately $90 million as approved by the Georgia PSC in conjunction with Georgia Power's annual compliance filings.
    In February 2020, the Georgia PSC denied a motion for reconsideration filed by the Sierra Club regarding the Georgia PSC's decision in the 2019 ARP allowing Georgia Power to recover compliance costs for CCR AROs, and, in December 2020, the Superior Court of Fulton County affirmed the decision of the Georgia PSC. On January 5, 2021, the Sierra Club filed a notice of appeal with the Georgia Court of Appeals. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
    See Note 6 to the financial statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information regarding Georgia Power's AROs.
    Plant Vogtle Unit 3 and Common Facilities Rate Proceeding
    On June 15, 2021, Georgia Power filed an application with the Georgia PSC to adjust retail base rates to include the portion of costs related to its investment in Plant Vogtle Unit 3 and common facilities shared between Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 (Common Facilities) previously deemed prudent by the Georgia PSC ($2.38 billion), as well as the related costs of operation.
    The request includes an annual rate increase totaling approximately $370 million to be effective the month after Unit 3 is placed in service. Unit 3 is projected to be placed in service in the second quarter 2022. This increase will be partially offset by a decrease in the NCCR tariff of approximately $116 million expected to be effective January 1, 2022. In addition, an estimated $45 million of fuel cost savings related to Unit 3 is already incorporated in Georgia Power's current fuel cost recovery rates.
    49

        Table of Contents                                Index to Financial Statements

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    Georgia Power also is requesting to defer some of its 2022 financing costs (approximately $42 million) relating to the remaining portion of the total Unit 3 and Common Facilities construction costs not being recovered through the NCCR tariff until Unit 4 costs are placed in retail base rates.
    The Georgia PSC is scheduled to issue a final order in this proceeding on November 2, 2021. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. See "Nuclear Construction" herein for additional information on Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4.
    Deferral of Incremental COVID-19 Costs
    In June 2021, Georgia Power performed a review of bad debt amounts deferred under the Georgia PSC-approved methodology, including consideration of actual amounts repaid by customers from arrears and installment plans after the disconnection moratorium period ended in July 2020. As a result of the review, Georgia Power reduced the balance of deferred incremental costs by approximately $20 million. At June 30, 2021, the incremental costs deferred totaled approximately $20 million, including approximately $2 million of incremental bad debt costs and $18 million of other incremental costs. The period over which these costs will be recovered is expected to be determined in Georgia Power's next base rate case. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
    Nuclear Construction
    In 2009, the Georgia PSC certified construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4, in which Georgia Power holds a 45.7% ownership interest. In 2012, the NRC issued the related combined construction and operating licenses, which allowed full construction of the 2 AP1000 nuclear units (with electric generating capacity of approximately 1,100 MWs each) and related facilities to begin. Until March 2017, construction on Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 continued under the Vogtle 3 and 4 Agreement, which was a substantially fixed price agreement.
    In connection with the EPC Contractor's bankruptcy filing in March 2017, Georgia Power, acting for itself and as agent for the other Vogtle Owners, entered into several transitional arrangements to allow construction to continue. In July 2017, Georgia Power, acting for itself and as agent for the other Vogtle Owners, entered into the Vogtle Services Agreement, whereby Westinghouse provides facility design and engineering services, procurement and technical support, and staff augmentation on a time and materials cost basis. The Vogtle Services Agreement provides that it will continue until the start-up and testing of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 are complete and electricity is generated and sold from both units. The Vogtle Services Agreement is terminable by the Vogtle Owners upon 30 days' written notice.
    In October 2017, Georgia Power, acting for itself and as agent for the other Vogtle Owners, executed the Bechtel Agreement, a cost reimbursable plus fee arrangement, whereby Bechtel is reimbursed for actual costs plus a base fee and an at-risk fee, which is subject to adjustment based on Bechtel's performance against cost and schedule targets. Each Vogtle Owner is severally (not jointly) liable for its proportionate share, based on its ownership interest, of all amounts owed to Bechtel under the Bechtel Agreement. The Vogtle Owners may terminate the Bechtel Agreement at any time for their convenience, provided that the Vogtle Owners will be required to pay amounts related to work performed prior to the termination (including the applicable portion of the base fee), certain termination-related costs, and, at certain stages of the work, the applicable portion of the at-risk fee. Bechtel may terminate the Bechtel Agreement under certain circumstances, including certain Vogtle Owner suspensions of work, certain breaches of the Bechtel Agreement by the Vogtle Owners, Vogtle Owner insolvency, and certain other events.

    Cost and Schedule
    Georgia Power's approximate proportionate share of the remaining estimated capital cost to complete Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4, including contingency, through June 2022 and March 2023, respectively, is as follows:
    (in millions)
    Base project capital cost forecast(a)(b)

    Net investment at June 30, 2021(b)
    (7,856)
    Remaining estimate to complete$1,359 
    (a)    Includes approximately $570 million of costs that are not shared with the other Vogtle Owners. Excludes financing costs expected to be capitalized through AFUDC of approximately $290 million, of which $143 million had been accrued through June 30, 2021.
    (b)    Net of $1.7 billion received from Toshiba under the Guarantee Settlement Agreement and approximately $188 million in related customer refunds.
    Georgia Power estimates that its financing costs for construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 will total approximately $3.2 billion, of which $2.7 billion had been incurred through June 30, 2021.
    As part of its ongoing processes, Southern Nuclear continues to evaluate cost and schedule forecasts on a regular basis to incorporate current information available, particularly in the areas of engineering support, commodity installation, system turnovers and related test results, and workforce statistics. Southern Nuclear establishes aggressive target values for monthly construction production and system turnover activities. Southern Nuclear's site work plans continue to reflect this approach in support of safely completing Units 3 and 4, while achieving the required construction quality.
    In mid-March 2020, Southern Nuclear began implementing policies and procedures designed to mitigate the risk of transmission of COVID-19 at the construction site, including worker distancing measures; isolating individuals who tested positive for COVID-19, showed symptoms consistent with COVID-19, were being tested for COVID-19, or were in close contact with such persons; requiring self-quarantine; and adopting additional precautionary measures. Since March 2020, the number of active cases at the site has fluctuated and impacted productivity levels and pace of activity completion. The site has experienced an overall decline in the number of active cases since a peak in January 2021. The lower productivity levels and slower pace of activity completion experienced since March 2020 contributed to a backlog to the aggressive site work plan established at the beginning of 2020. Georgia Power estimates the productivity impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have consumed approximately three to four months of schedule margin previously embedded in the site work plan for Unit 3 and Unit 4. In addition, the project continued to face challenges including, but not limited to, higher than expected absenteeism; overall construction and subcontractor labor productivity; system turnover and testing activities; and electrical equipment and commodity installation. As a result of these factors, in January 2021, Southern Nuclear further extended certain milestone dates, including the start of hot functional testing and fuel load for Unit 3, from those established in October 2020.
    Following the January 2021 milestone extensions, Southern Nuclear has been performing additional construction remediation work necessary to ensure quality and design standards are met as system turnovers are completed to support hot functional testing and fuel load for Unit 3. Hot functional testing for Unit 3 was completed in July 2021. As a result of challenges including, but not limited to, construction productivity, construction remediation work, the pace of system turnovers, spent fuel pool repairs, and the timeframe and duration for hot functional and other testing, at the end of the second quarter 2021, Southern Nuclear further extended certain milestone dates, including the fuel load for Unit 3, from those established in January 2021. The site work plan currently targets fuel load for Unit 3 in the fourth quarter 2021 and an in-service date of March 2022. As the site work plan includes minimal margin to these milestone dates, an in-service date in the second quarter 2022 for Unit 3 is projected, although any further delays could result in a later in-service date.

    (UNAUDITED)
    As the result of productivity challenges, at the end of the second quarter 2021, Southern Nuclear also further extended milestone dates for Unit 4 from those established in January 2021. The site work plan targets an in-service date of November 2022 and primarily depends on overall construction productivity and production levels significantly improving as well as appropriate levels of craft laborers, particularly electricians and pipefitters, being added and maintained. As the site work plan includes minimal margin to the milestone dates, an in-service date in the first quarter 2023 for Unit 4 is projected, although any further delays could result in a later in-service date.
    As of March 31, 2021, approximately $84 million of the construction contingency established in the fourth quarter 2020 was assigned to the base capital cost forecast for costs primarily associated with the schedule extension for Unit 3 to December 2021, construction productivity, support resources, and construction remediation work. Georgia Power increased its total capital cost forecast as of March 31, 2021 by adding $48 million to the remaining construction contingency. Considering the factors above, during the second quarter 2021, all of the remaining construction contingency previously established and an additional $341 million was assigned to the base capital cost forecast for costs primarily associated with the schedule extensions for Units 3 and 4 described above, construction remediation work for Unit 3, and construction productivity and support resources for Units 3 and 4. Georgia Power also increased its total capital cost forecast as of June 30, 2021 by adding $119 million to replenish construction contingency.
    After considering the significant level of uncertainty that exists regarding the future recoverability of these costs since the ultimate outcome of these matters is subject to the outcome of future assessments by management, as well as Georgia PSC decisions in future regulatory proceedings, Georgia Power recorded pre-tax charges to income in the first quarter 2021 and the second quarter 2021 of $48 million ($36 million after tax) and $460 million ($343 million after tax), respectively, for the increases in the total project capital cost forecast. As and when these amounts are spent, Georgia Power may request the Georgia PSC to evaluate those expenditures for rate recovery.
    In addition, the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could further disrupt or delay construction and testing activities at Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4. Georgia Power's proportionate share of the estimated incremental cost associated with COVID-19 mitigation actions and impacts on construction productivity is currently estimated to be between $160 million and $200 million and is included in the total project capital cost forecast.
    As construction, including subcontract work, continues and testing and system turnover activities increase, ongoing or future challenges with management of contractors and vendors; subcontractor performance; supervision of craft labor and related productivity, particularly in the installation of electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation and controls commodities, ability to attract and retain craft labor, and/or related cost escalation; procurement, fabrication, delivery, assembly, installation, system turnover, and the initial testing and start-up, including any required engineering changes or any remediation related thereto, of plant systems, structures, or components (some of which are based on new technology that only within the last few years began initial operation in the global nuclear industry at this scale), including the spent fuel pools, any of which may require additional labor and/or materials; or other issues could continue or arise and change the projected schedule and estimated cost.
    There have been technical and procedural challenges to the construction and licensing of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 at the federal and state level and additional challenges may arise. Processes are in place that are designed to ensure compliance with the requirements specified in the Westinghouse Design Control Document and the combined construction and operating licenses, including inspections by Southern Nuclear and the NRC that occur throughout construction. In connection with the additional construction remediation work described above, Southern Nuclear reviewed the project's construction quality programs and, where needed, is implementing improvement plans consistent with these processes. In June 2021, the NRC began a special inspection to review the root cause of this additional construction remediation work and the corresponding corrective action plans. Findings resulting from this or other inspections could require additional remediation and/or further NRC oversight. In addition, certain license amendment requests have been filed and approved or are pending before the NRC. On March 15, 2021, the NRC denied the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League's (BREDL) December 2020 motion to reopen proceedings on BREDL's petition challenging a requested license amendment, which has been issued by the NRC staff.

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    In September 2020, Southern Nuclear notified the NRC of its intent to load fuel for Unit 3 in 2021. Various design and other licensing-based compliance matters, including the timely submittal by Southern Nuclear of the ITAAC documentation for each unit and the related reviews and approvals by the NRC necessary to support NRC authorization to load fuel, have arisen or may arise, which may result in additional license amendments or require other resolution. If any license amendment requests or other licensing-based compliance issues, including inspections and ITAACs, are not resolved in a timely manner, there may be delays in the project schedule that could result in increased costs.
    The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time. However, any extension of the in-service date beyond the second quarter 2022 for Unit 3 or the first quarter 2023 for Unit 4 is currently estimated to result in additional base capital costs for Georgia Power of approximately $25 million per month for Unit 3 and approximately $15 million per month for Unit 4, as well as the related AFUDC. While Georgia Power is not precluded from seeking recovery of any future capital cost forecast increase, management will ultimately determine whether or not to seek recovery. Any further changes to the capital cost forecast that are not expected to be recoverable through regulated rates will be required to be charged to income and such charges could be material.
    Joint Owner Contracts
    In November 2017, the Vogtle Owners entered into an amendment to their joint ownership agreements for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 to provide for, among other conditions, additional Vogtle Owner approval requirements. Effective in August 2018, the Vogtle Owners further amended the joint ownership agreements to clarify and provide procedures for certain provisions of the joint ownership agreements related to adverse events that require the vote of the holders of at least 90% of the ownership interests in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 to continue construction (as amended, and together with the November 2017 amendment, the Vogtle Joint Ownership Agreements). The Vogtle Joint Ownership Agreements also confirm that the Vogtle Owners' sole recourse against Georgia Power or Southern Nuclear for any action or inaction in connection with their performance as agent for the Vogtle Owners is limited to removal of Georgia Power and/or Southern Nuclear as agent, except in cases of willful misconduct.
    As a result of an increase in the total project capital cost forecast and Georgia Power's decision not to seek rate recovery of the increase in the base capital costs in conjunction with the nineteenth VCM report in 2018, the holders of at least 90% of the ownership interests in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 were required to vote to continue construction. In September 2018, the Vogtle Owners unanimously voted to continue construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4.
    Amendments to the Vogtle Joint Ownership Agreements
    In connection with the vote to continue construction, Georgia Power entered into (i) a binding term sheet (Vogtle Owner Term Sheet) with the other Vogtle Owners and MEAG Power's wholly-owned subsidiaries MEAG Power SPVJ, LLC (MEAG SPVJ), MEAG Power SPVM, LLC (MEAG SPVM), and MEAG Power SPVP, LLC (MEAG SPVP) to take certain actions which partially mitigate potential financial exposure for the other Vogtle Owners, including additional amendments to the Vogtle Joint Ownership Agreements and the purchase of PTCs from the other Vogtle Owners at pre-established prices, and (ii) a term sheet (MEAG Term Sheet) with MEAG Power and MEAG SPVJ to provide up to $300 million of funding with respect to MEAG SPVJ's ownership interest in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 under certain circumstances. In January 2019, Georgia Power, MEAG Power, and MEAG SPVJ entered into an agreement to implement the provisions of the MEAG Term Sheet. In February 2019, Georgia Power, the other Vogtle Owners, and MEAG Power's wholly-owned subsidiaries MEAG SPVJ, MEAG SPVM, and MEAG SPVP entered into certain amendments to the Vogtle Joint Ownership Agreements to implement the provisions of the Vogtle Owner Term Sheet (Global Amendments).
    As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Global Amendments: (i) each Vogtle Owner must pay its proportionate share of qualifying construction costs for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 based on its ownership percentage up to the estimated cost at completion (EAC) for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 which formed the basis of Georgia Power's forecast of $8.4 billion in the nineteenth VCM plus $800 million; (ii) Georgia Power will be responsible for 55.7% of actual qualifying construction costs between $800 million and $1.6 billion over the EAC in the nineteenth VCM
    53

        Table of Contents                                Index to Financial Statements

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    (resulting in $80 million of potential additional costs to Georgia Power), with the remaining Vogtle Owners responsible for 44.3% of such costs pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership interests; and (iii) Georgia Power will be responsible for 65.7% of qualifying construction costs between $1.6 billion and $2.1 billion over the EAC in the nineteenth VCM (resulting in a further $100 million of potential additional costs to Georgia Power), with the remaining Vogtle Owners responsible for 34.3% of such costs pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership interests. If the EAC is revised and exceeds the EAC in the nineteenth VCM by more than $2.1 billion, each of the other Vogtle Owners will have a one-time option at the time the project budget forecast is so revised to tender a portion of its ownership interest to Georgia Power in exchange for Georgia Power's agreement to pay 100% of such Vogtle Owner's remaining share of total construction costs in excess of the EAC in the nineteenth VCM plus $2.1 billion.
    In addition, pursuant to the Global Amendments, the holders of at least 90% of the ownership interests in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 must vote to continue construction if certain adverse events occur, including, among other events: (i) the bankruptcy of Toshiba; (ii) the termination or rejection in bankruptcy of certain agreements, including the Vogtle Services Agreement, the Bechtel Agreement, or the agency agreement with Southern Nuclear; (iii) Georgia Power's public announcement of its intention not to submit for rate recovery any portion of its investment in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 or the Georgia PSC determines that any of Georgia Power's costs relating to the construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 will not be recovered in retail rates, excluding any additional amounts paid by Georgia Power on behalf of the other Vogtle Owners pursuant to the Global Amendments described above and the first 6% of costs during any six-month VCM reporting period that are disallowed by the Georgia PSC for recovery, or for which Georgia Power elects not to seek cost recovery, through retail rates; and (iv) an incremental extension of one year or more over the most recently approved schedule.
    The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
    Regulatory Matters
    In 2009, the Georgia PSC voted to certify construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 with a certified capital cost of $4.418 billion. In addition, in 2009 the Georgia PSC approved inclusion of the Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 related CWIP accounts in rate base, and the State of Georgia enacted the Georgia Nuclear Energy Financing Act, which allows Georgia Power to recover financing costs for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4. Financing costs are recovered on all applicable certified costs through annual adjustments to the NCCR tariff up to the certified capital cost of $4.418 billion. At June 30, 2021, Georgia Power had recovered approximately $2.6 billion of financing costs. Financing costs related to capital costs above $4.418 billion are being recognized through AFUDC and are expected to be recovered through retail rates over the life of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4; however, Georgia Power will not record AFUDC related to any capital costs in excess of the total deemed reasonable by the Georgia PSC (currently $7.3 billion) and not requested for rate recovery. In November 2020, the Georgia PSC approved Georgia Power's request to decrease the NCCR tariff by $142 million annually, effective January 1, 2021.
    Georgia Power is required to file semi-annual VCM reports with the Georgia PSC by February 28 and August 31 of each year. In 2013, in connection with the eighth VCM report, the Georgia PSC approved a stipulation between Georgia Power and the staff of the Georgia PSC to waive the requirement to amend the Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 certificate in accordance with the 2009 certification order until the completion of Plant Vogtle Unit 3, or earlier if deemed appropriate by the Georgia PSC and Georgia Power.
    In 2016, the Georgia PSC voted to approve a settlement agreement (Vogtle Cost Settlement Agreement) resolving certain prudency matters in connection with the fifteenth VCM report. In December 2017, the Georgia PSC voted to approve (and issued its related order on January 11, 2018) Georgia Power's seventeenth VCM report and modified the Vogtle Cost Settlement Agreement. The Vogtle Cost Settlement Agreement, as modified by the January 11, 2018 order, resolved the following regulatory matters related to Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4: (i) none of the $3.3 billion of costs incurred through December 31, 2015 and reflected in the fourteenth VCM report should be disallowed from rate base on the basis of imprudence; (ii) the Contractor Settlement Agreement was reasonable and prudent and none of the $0.3 billion paid pursuant to the Contractor Settlement Agreement should be disallowed from rate base on the basis of imprudence; (iii) (a) capital costs incurred up to $5.68 billion would be presumed to
    54

        Table of Contents                                Index to Financial Statements

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    be reasonable and prudent with the burden of proof on any party challenging such costs, (b) Georgia Power would have the burden to show that any capital costs above $5.68 billion were prudent, and (c) a revised capital cost forecast of $7.3 billion (after reflecting the impact of payments received under the Guarantee Settlement Agreement and related customer refunds) was found reasonable; (iv) construction of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 should be completed, with Southern Nuclear serving as project manager and Bechtel as primary contractor; (v) approved and deemed reasonable Georgia Power's revised schedule placing Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 in service in November 2021 and November 2022, respectively; (vi) confirmed that the revised cost forecast does not represent a cost cap and that a prudence proceeding on cost recovery will occur following Unit 4 fuel load, consistent with applicable Georgia law; (vii) reduced the ROE used to calculate the NCCR tariff (a) from 10.95% (the ROE rate setting point authorized by the Georgia PSC in the 2013 alternate rate plan) to 10.00% effective January 1, 2016, (b) from 10.00% to 8.30%, effective January 1, 2020, and (c) from 8.30% to 5.30%, effective January 1, 2021 (provided that the ROE in no case will be less than Georgia Power's average cost of long-term debt); (viii) reduced the ROE used for AFUDC equity for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 from 10.00% to Georgia Power's average cost of long-term debt, effective January 1, 2018; and (ix) agreed that upon Unit 3 reaching commercial operation, retail base rates would be adjusted to include the costs related to Unit 3 and common facilities deemed prudent in the Vogtle Cost Settlement Agreement. The January 11, 2018 order also stated that if Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 are not commercially operational by June 1, 2021 and June 1, 2022, respectively, the ROE used to calculate the NCCR tariff will be further reduced by 10 basis points each month (but not lower than Georgia Power's average cost of long-term debt) until the respective Unit is commercially operational. The ROE reductions negatively impacted earnings by approximately $150 million in 2020 and are estimated to have negative earnings impacts of approximately $270 million, $270 million, and $90 million in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. In its January 11, 2018 order, the Georgia PSC also stated if other conditions change and assumptions upon which Georgia Power's seventeenth VCM report are based do not materialize, the Georgia PSC reserved the right to reconsider the decision to continue construction.
    The Georgia PSC has approved 23 VCM reports covering periods through June 30, 2020 and is scheduled to vote on the twenty-fourth VCM report in August 2021, including total construction capital costs incurred through December 31, 2020 of $8.7 billion (before $1.7 billion of payments received under the Guarantee Settlement Agreement and approximately $188 million in related customer refunds). On July 28, 2021, Georgia Power and the staff of the Georgia PSC reached a stipulated agreement providing for approval of the twenty-fourth VCM report as well as a change to future VCM proceedings. Beginning with its twenty-fifth VCM report, which Georgia Power expects to file with the Georgia PSC by August 31, 2021, Georgia Power will continue to report to the Georgia PSC all costs incurred during the period for review and will include a request for approval of costs up to the $7.3 billion determined to be reasonable in the Georgia PSC's seventeenth VCM order. Under the stipulation, Georgia Power will not seek verification or approval of costs above $7.3 billion prior to the Georgia PSC's prudence review contemplated by the seventeenth VCM order. The twenty-fifth VCM report will reflect the revised capital cost forecast discussed above. See "Plant Vogtle Unit 3 and Common Facilities Rate Proceeding" herein for information on Georgia Power's request to adjust retail base rates to include a portion of costs related to its investment in Plant Vogtle Unit 3 and Common Facilities.
    The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
    Mississippi Power
    Performance Evaluation Plan
    On June 8, 2021, the Mississippi PSC approved Mississippi Power's annual retail PEP filing for 2021, resulting in an annual increase in revenues of approximately $16 million, or 1.8%, which became effective with the first billing cycle of April 2021 in accordance with the PEP rate schedule.
    Integrated Resource Plan
    In December 2020, the Mississippi PSC issued an order in the Reserve Margin Plan docket requiring Mississippi Power to incorporate into its 2021 IRP a schedule reflecting the retirement of 950 MWs of fossil-steam generation

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    by year-end 2027 to reduce Mississippi Power's excess reserve margin. On April 15, 2021, Mississippi Power filed its 2021 IRP with the Mississippi PSC. The filing includes a schedule to retire Plant Watson Unit 4 (268 MWs) and Mississippi Power's 40% ownership interest in Plant Greene County Units 1 and 2 (103 MWs each) in December 2023, 2025, and 2026, respectively, consistent with each unit's remaining useful life in the most recent approved depreciation studies. In addition, the schedule reflects the early retirement of Mississippi Power's 50% undivided ownership interest in Plant Daniel Units 1 and 2 (502 MWs) by the end of 2027. The Plant Greene County unit retirements require the completion by Alabama Power of transmission and system reliability improvements, as well as agreement by Alabama Power.
    The remaining net book value of Plant Daniel Units 1 and 2 was approximately $522 million at June 30, 2021. Mississippi Power expects to reclassify the net book value remaining at retirement to a regulatory asset to be amortized over a period to be determined by the Mississippi PSC in future proceedings, consistent with the December 2020 order. The Plant Watson and Greene County units are expected to be fully depreciated upon retirement.
    The 2021 IRP is subject to a review period during which the Mississippi PSC may note any deficiencies which could require re-evaluation or resubmission of the IRP. If no deficiencies are noted, the Mississippi PSC's review will conclude on August 13, 2021.
    The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
    Environmental Compliance Overview Plan
    On June 8, 2021, the Mississippi PSC approved Mississippi Power's ECO Plan filing for 2021, resulting in an annual decrease in revenues of approximately $9 million, primarily due to a change in the amortization periods of certain regulatory assets and liabilities. The rate decrease became effective with the first billing cycle of July 2021.
    Ad Valorem Tax Adjustment
    On April 6, 2021, the Mississippi PSC approved Mississippi Power's annual ad valorem tax adjustment filing for 2021, which requested an annual increase in revenues of approximately $28 million, including approximately $19 million of ad valorem taxes previously recovered through PEP in accordance with the Mississippi Power Rate Case Settlement Agreement. The rate increase became effective with the first billing cycle of May 2021.

    Rate Proceedings
    Virginia Natural Gas
    On May 10, 2021, Virginia Natural Gas, the Virginia Commission staff, and other intervenors entered into a stipulation agreement related to Virginia Natural Gas' June 2020 general rate case filing, which allows for a $43 million increase in annual base rate revenues, including $14 million related to the recovery of investments under the SAVE program, based on a ROE of 9.5% and an equity ratio of 51.9%. On July 8, 2021, the hearing examiner issued a report recommending adoption of the stipulation agreement. The Virginia Commission is expected to rule on this matter by September 2021. Interim rate adjustments became effective as of November 1, 2020, subject to refund, based on Virginia Natural Gas' original request for an increase of approximately $50 million. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
    Atlanta Gas Light
    On July 21, 2021, Atlanta Gas Light filed its annual GRAM filing with the Georgia PSC. The filing requests an annual base rate increase of $49 million based on the projected 12-month period beginning January 1, 2022. The proposed rate increase may be updated pending the resolution of Atlanta Gas Light's i-CDP filing. Resolution of the GRAM filing is expected by December 31, 2021, with the new rates to become effective January 1, 2022. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.

    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
    (UNAUDITED)
    Southern Company
    In February 2017, Jean Vineyard and Judy Mesirov each filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Each of these lawsuits names as defendants Southern Company, certain of its directors, certain of its current and former officers, and certain former Mississippi Power officers. In 2017, these 2 shareholder derivative lawsuits were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaints allege that the defendants caused Southern Company to make false or misleading statements regarding the Kemper County energy facility cost and schedule. Further, the complaints allege that the defendants were unjustly enriched and caused the waste of corporate assets and also allege that the individual defendants violated their fiduciary duties.
    In May 2017, Helen E. Piper Survivor's Trust filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia that names as defendants Southern Company, certain of its directors, certain of its current and former officers, and certain former Mississippi Power officers. The complaint alleges that the individual defendants, among other things, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with schedule delays and cost overruns associated with the construction of the Kemper County energy facility. The complaint further alleges that the individual defendants authorized or failed to correct false and misleading statements regarding the Kemper County energy facility schedule and cost and failed to implement necessary internal controls to prevent harm to Southern Company. In August 2019, the court granted a motion filed by the plaintiff in July 2019 to substitute a new named plaintiff, Martin J. Kobuck, in place of Helen E. Piper Survivor's Trust.
    The plaintiffs in each of these cases seek to recover, on behalf of Southern Company, unspecified actual damages and, on each plaintiff's own behalf, attorneys' fees and costs in bringing the lawsuit. The plaintiffs also seek certain changes to Southern Company's corporate governance and internal processes. In 2018, the court in each case entered an order staying each lawsuit until 30 days after the settlement of a securities class action filed in January 2017 against Southern Company, certain of its current and former officers, and certain former Mississippi Power officers. In September 2020, the plaintiffs in each case filed a status report noting the settlement of the securities class action and informing the court that the parties had scheduled mediation, which occurred in November 2020. The parties in each case did not reach settlement but continue to explore possible resolution. Each case is stayed while the parties discuss potential resolution.
    Georgia Power
    In 2011, plaintiffs filed a putative class action against Georgia Power in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia alleging that Georgia Power's collection in rates of amounts for municipal franchise fees (which fees are paid to municipalities) exceeded the amounts allowed in orders of the Georgia PSC and alleging certain state law claims. This case has been ruled upon and appealed numerous times over the last several years. In one recent appeal, the Georgia Supreme Court remanded the case and noted that the trial court could refer the matter to the Georgia PSC to interpret its tariffs. Following a motion by Georgia Power, in February 2019, the Superior Court of Fulton County ordered the parties to submit petitions to the Georgia PSC for a declaratory ruling and also conditionally certified the proposed class. In March 2019, Georgia Power and the plaintiffs filed petitions with the Georgia PSC seeking confirmation of the proper application of the municipal franchise fee schedule pursuant to the Georgia PSC's orders. Also in March 2019, Georgia Power appealed the class certification decision to the Georgia Court of Appeals. In October 2019, the Georgia PSC issued an order that found Georgia Power has appropriately implemented the municipal franchise fee schedule. In March 2020, the Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the Superior Court of Fulton County's February 2019 order granting conditional class certification and remanded the case to the Superior Court of Fulton County for further proceedings. In September 2020, the plaintiffs and Georgia Power each filed motions for summary judgment and the plaintiffs renewed their motion for class certification. On March 16, 2021, the Superior Court of Fulton County granted class certification and Georgia Power's motion for summary judgment. On March 22, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal, and, on April 2, 2021, Georgia Power filed a notice of cross appeal on the issue of class certification. The amount of any possible losses cannot be estimated at this time because, among other factors, it is unknown whether any losses would be subject to recovery from any municipalities.

    (UNAUDITED)
    In July 2020, a group of individual plaintiffs filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia against Georgia Power alleging that releases from Plant Scherer have impacted groundwater, surface water, and air, resulting in alleged personal injuries and property damage. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of monetary damages including punitive damages, a medical monitoring fund, and injunctive relief. In September 2020, Georgia Power filed a motion to dismiss. The amount of any possible losses cannot be estimated at this time.
    Mississippi Power
    In 2018, Ray C. Turnage and 10 other individual plaintiffs filed a putative class action complaint against Mississippi Power and the 3 then-serving members of the Mississippi PSC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Mississippi Power received Mississippi PSC approval in 2013 to charge a mirror CWIP rate premised upon including in its rate base pre-construction and construction costs for the Kemper IGCC prior to placing the Kemper IGCC into service. The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed that approval and ordered Mississippi Power to refund the amounts paid by customers under the previously-approved mirror CWIP rate. The plaintiffs allege that the initial approval process, and the amount approved, were improper. They also allege that Mississippi Power underpaid customers by up to $23.5 million in the refund process by applying an incorrect interest rate. The plaintiffs seek to recover, on behalf of themselves and their putative class, actual damages, punitive damages, pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest, attorney's fees, and costs. In response to Mississippi Power and the Mississippi PSC each filing a motion to dismiss, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in March 2019. The amended complaint included 4 additional plaintiffs and additional claims for gross negligence, reckless conduct, and intentional wrongdoing. Mississippi Power and the Mississippi PSC each filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which occurred in May 2020 and March 2020, respectively. Also in March 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to name the new members of the Mississippi PSC, the Mississippi Development Authority, and Southern Company as additional defendants and add a cause of action against all defendants based on a dormant commerce clause theory under the U.S. Constitution. In July 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a third amended complaint, which included the same federal claims as the proposed second amended complaint, as well as several additional state law claims based on the allegation that Mississippi Power failed to disclose the annual percentage rate of interest applicable to refunds. In November 2020, the court denied each of the plaintiffs' pending motions and entered final judgment in favor of Mississippi Power. On January 22, 2021, the court denied further motions by the plaintiffs to vacate the judgment and to file a revised second amended complaint. On February 19, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. An adverse outcome in this proceeding could have a material impact on Mississippi Power's financial statements.
    See Note 3 to the financial statements under "Other Matters – Mississippi Power – Kemper County Energy Facility" in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.
    Environmental Remediation
    The Southern Company system must comply with environmental laws and regulations governing the handling and disposal of waste and releases of hazardous substances. Under these various laws and regulations, the Southern Company system could incur substantial costs to clean up affected sites. The traditional electric operating companies and the natural gas distribution utilities in Illinois and Georgia have each received authority from their respective state PSCs or other applicable state regulatory agencies to recover approved environmental remediation costs through regulatory mechanisms. These regulatory mechanisms are adjusted annually or as necessary within limits approved by the state PSCs or other applicable state regulatory agencies.
    Georgia Power's environmental remediation liability was $15 million at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Georgia Power has been designated or identified as a potentially responsible party at sites governed by the Georgia Hazardous Site Response Act and/or by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, and assessment and potential cleanup of such sites is expected.

    (UNAUDITED)
    Southern Company Gas' environmental remediation liability was $247 million and $245 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, based on the estimated cost of environmental investigation and remediation associated with known former manufactured gas plant operating sites.
    The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time; however, as a result of the regulatory treatment for environmental remediation expenses described above, the final disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the applicable Registrants.
    Other Matters
    Southern Company Gas
    PennEast Pipeline Project
    Work continues with state and federal agencies to obtain the required permits to begin construction of the PennEast Pipeline. On June 29, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of PennEast Pipeline regarding its federal eminent domain authority over lands in which a state has property rights interests.
    Southern Company Gas tests its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the investment may be impaired. Following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, during the second quarter 2021, Southern Company Gas management reassessed the project construction timing, including the anticipated timing for receipt of the FERC certificate and all remaining state and local permits for both Phase 1 (the construction of 68 miles of pipe entirely within Pennsylvania) and Phase 2 (the construction of the remaining 50 miles in Pennsylvania and New Jersey), as well as potential challenges thereto, and performed an impairment analysis. The outcome of the analysis resulted in a pre-tax impairment charge of $82 million ($58 million after tax). The ultimate outcome of the PennEast Pipeline construction project cannot be determined at this time. See Note (E) under "Southern Company Gas" for additional information.
    SNG
    As a 50% equity investor in SNG, Southern Company Gas is required to make additional capital contributions as necessary pursuant to the terms of its operating agreement with SNG. Southern Company Gas previously committed to fund up to $150 million as a contingent capital contribution if SNG was unable to refinance or otherwise satisfy $300 million of debt maturing in June 2021. On April 29, 2021, SNG successfully refinanced the debt obligation. See Note (E) under "Southern Company Gas" for additional information.
