===Energy use and production===

Georgia's electricity generation and consumption are among the highest in the United States, with natural gas being the primary electrical generation fuel, followed by coal. The state also has two nuclear power facilities, [[Plant Hatch]] and [[Plant Vogtle]], which contribute almost one fourth of Georgia's electricity generation, and two additional nuclear reactors are being built at Vogtle as of 2022.{{citation needed|date=May 2022}} In 2013, the generation mix was 39% gas, 35% coal, 23% nuclear, 3% hydro and other renewable sources. The leading area of energy consumption is the industrial sector because Georgia "is a leader in the energy-intensive wood and paper products industry".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/state/state_energy_profiles.cfm?sid=GA |title=Energy Information Administration |publisher=Tonto.eia.doe.gov |date=March 27, 2014 |access-date=July 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101117131234/http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/state/state_energy_profiles.cfm?sid=GA |archive-date=November 17, 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Solar generated energy is becoming more in use with solar energy generators currently installed ranking Georgia 15th in the country in installed solar capacity. In 2013, $189&nbsp;million was invested in Georgia to install solar for home, business and utility use representing a 795% increase over the previous year.<ref>{{cite web|title=Facts on the Georgia Solar Industry|url=http://www.seia.org/state-solar-policy/georgia|website=Georgia Solar|publisher=Solar Energy Industries Association|access-date=January 12, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227074758/http://www.seia.org/state-solar-policy/georgia|archive-date=December 27, 2014}}</ref>
