                          OGLETHORPE POWER CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993




(A)  The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
     Oglethorpe Power Corporation (Oglethorpe), without audit, pursuant to the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  In
     the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all
     adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
     present fairly, in all material respects, the results for the periods ended
     March 31, 1994 and 1993.  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 such SEC rules and regulations, although Oglethorpe believes
     that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be
     read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
     included in Oglethorpe's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with
     the SEC.

(B)  Oglethorpe adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115,
     "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", as of
     January 1, 1994.  Under this statement, investment securities held by
     Oglethorpe are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.
     Available-for-sale securities are carried at market value with unrealized
     gains and losses, net of any tax effect, added to or deducted from
     patronage capital.  Unrealized gains and losses from investment securities
     held in the decommissioning fund, which are also classified as
     available-for-sale, are directly added to or deducted from the
     decommissioning reserve.  Held-to-maturity securities are carried at cost.
     All realized and unrealized gains and losses are determined using the
     specific identification method.  In accordance with the provisions of this
     statement, the amounts classified as bond, reserve and construction funds
     and decommissioning fund on the accompanying Condensed Balance Sheets are
     carried at cost as of December 31, 1993.


(C)  Oglethorpe's share of the undiscounted cost of decommissioning co-owned
     nuclear facilities, assuming decommissioning occurs promptly after the unit
     is taken out of service, is estimated at approximately $254 million for
     Hatch Unit No. 1, $356 million for Hatch Unit No. 2, $416 million for
     Vogtle Unit No. 1 and $543 million for Vogtle Unit No. 2.  The years in
     which the above plants are expected to begin decommissioning are 2014,
     2018, 2027 and 2029, respectively.  In developing these estimates, the
     escalation rate was assumed to be 4% and return on trust assets was assumed
     to be 8%.

     The annual provision for decommissioning, which totaled $5.9 million in
     1993, is currently recovered from Members as depreciation expense.
     Oglethorpe's management is of the


                                        7

<PAGE>

     opinion that any changes in cost estimates of decommissioning will be fully
     recovered in future rates.

     Beginning in the years noted above in which the units begin
     decommissioning, the expected timing of payments for decommissioning costs
     will extend for a period of 9 to 14 years.  Oglethorpe's management does
     not expect such payments to have an adverse impact on liquidity or capital
     resources.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

Oglethorpe's net margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 was $20.2 million
as compared to $30.1 million for the same period of 1993.  Net margin was higher
in the first quarter of 1993 because of the implementation of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, which resulted in the reversal of
$13.3 million of accumulated deferred income taxes which had been previously
expensed.  This amount is reflected in the Condensed Statements of Revenues and
Expenses as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

OPERATING REVENUES

The increase in Member revenues was due, for the most part, to a 17% increase in
energy sales in the first quarter of 1994 and to the recovery of additional
fixed costs resulting from the decline in sell-back revenues from Georgia Power
Company (GPC) under the plant operating agreements, noted below.  Higher
megawatt-hour (MWh) sales were attributable to a colder than normal January in
Georgia in 1994.  Oglethorpe implemented a new rate which will increase revenues
for 1994 to address the Members' increasing share of fixed costs.

Sales to non-Members are primarily made pursuant to three different types of
contractual arrangements with GPC and from energy sales to other non-Member
utilities.  The following table summarizes the amounts of non-Member revenues
from these sources for the first quarter of 1994 and 1993:

</TABLE>


The decrease in revenues from non-Members in the first quarter of 1994 compared
to the same period of 1993 was primarily attributable to lower revenues from GPC
pursuant to plant operating agreements.  Under the plant operating agreements,
GPC purchases capacity and energy from Oglethorpe on a declining scale in the
early years of operation of certain co-owned generating units.  The decrease in
revenues of this type was due to scheduled reductions in sell-back percentages
for both of the Plant Vogtle units and for Plant Scherer Unit No. 2.

The second source of non-Member revenues is derived pursuant to power supply
arrangements with GPC.  These revenues are derived, for the most part, from
energy sales arising from dispatch situations whereby GPC causes co-owned steam
generating resources to be operated when Oglethorpe's system does not require
all of its contractual entitlement to the generation.  These revenues
essentially represent reimbursement of costs to Oglethorpe since, under the
operating agreements, Oglethorpe is responsible for its share of fuel costs any
time a unit operates.  See the discussion under "Operating Expenses" below of
the increased operation and lower average fuel costs of the Plant Scherer units
in first quarter 1994.  Revenues from sales of this type to GPC were lower due
to the fact that Oglethorpe retained much of its share of the output from the
Plant Scherer units  because the lower average fuel costs made Plant Scherer
more attractive than certain purchased resources.

Other revenues from non-Members increased significantly in the first quarter of
1994.  This increase reflects greater revenues from off-system sales.
Oglethorpe is continuing to pursue sales to other utilities as a means of
reducing amounts that must be recovered from Members.

OPERATING EXPENSES

The increase in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to increases
in fuel and production expenses which were partially offset somewhat by the
reduction in purchased power expenses.

The increase in fuel expenses was due, in large part, to substantially greater
generation from Plant Scherer Units No. 1 and 2 in the first quarter of 1994 as
compared to the same period of 1993.  Output from these units was almost one
million MWh higher in the first quarter of 1994.  Oglethorpe began receiving
shipments at Plant Scherer of lower priced coal from the mining regions of the
western United States in the last quarter of 1993.  As a result of the receipt
of this lower priced coal, the average fuel cost for the Scherer units decreased
by 16.5% from last year's first quarter.  The lower average fuel cost made
utilization of Plant Scherer more attractive than certain purchased resources.
Additional energy was necessary to provide for the increased needs of the
Members and to provide for the higher sales to other utilities (see discussion
under "Operating Revenues" above).

The increase in production expenses was due to an adjustment in first quarter
1994 of the amount of administrative and general costs paid to GPC in connection
with GPC's role as operating agent of co-owned generating units.

Purchased power expenses declined in the first quarter of 1994.  This decrease
resulted from a 40.5% reduction in energy purchases.  As discussed above, energy
from Plant Scherer was often utilized instead of higher priced purchased
resources.

OTHER INCOME

Other income was higher for the first quarter of 1994 as a result of increased
income from amortization of deferred margins.  Oglethorpe's Board of Directors
authorizes the amount of deferred margins to be returned to the Members each
year.  For 1994, the annual amount authorized was $26.6 million as compared to
$4.1 million for 1993.  Interest income declined due to lower average cash
balances.  (See "Assets" under FINANCIAL CONDITION for a discussion of the
change in cash balances.)

INTEREST CHARGES

The decrease in net interest charges resulted from the refinancing efforts
completed during 1993 and in the first quarter of 1994.  Allowance for debt
funds used during construction continues to increase in proportion to the level
of investment at the Rocky Mountain Project, a pumped storage hydroelectric
facility.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets and total equity and liabilities as of March 31, 1994 were $5.2
billion as compared to $5.3 billion at December 31, 1993.

ASSETS

The decrease in bond, reserve and construction funds primarily resulted from the
utilization of a portion of the debt service reserve funds for debt service
payments.  The available funds resulted from refinancing projects which did not
require a debt service reserve fund or which required a lower debt service
reserve fund than the refunded bonds.

The decrease in cash and temporary cash investments is partly due to the
December 31, 1993 Federal Financing Bank (FFB) interest payment being made as
due on January 3, 1994 and partly due to premiums paid in connection with FFB
note modifications and a pollution control bond (PCB) refunding.  For a
discussion of the refinancing transactions, see the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Oglethorpe's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Prepayments and other current assets increased primarily due to an $8.5 million
increase in the payment made to GPC for estimates of Plant Wansley and Plant
Hatch production expenses and Plant Wansley coal purchases for April 1994
compared to the estimate paid for January 1994.

The increase in the premium and loss on reacquired debt resulted from premiums
paid in connection with both FFB note modifications and the PCB refunding.

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES

For a discussion of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities see Note
B of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements.

Long-term debt due within one year decreased due to normal maturities of PCBs
and mortgage notes payable to the FFB.

Deferred margins and Vogtle surcharge to be refunded within one year decreased
by $7.6 million, which is the amount that was refunded to Members for the three
months ended March 31, 1994.  See "Other Income" under RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for
a discussion of the 1994 amortization of deferred margins.  For a description of
the Vogtle Surcharge, see Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements in
Oglethorpe's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

Accounts payable declined as of  March 31, 1994 as a result of normal variations
in the timing of payables activity.

Accrued interest decreased as discussed under cash and temporary investments
above.

Energy costs billed in excess of actuals decreased as a net result of the
refunding to Members of approximately $10 million of amounts over-collected in
1993 and the realization of $8 million of energy cost savings compared to
budgeted amounts.

The decrease in other current liabilities is partly due to an $11 million refund
to GPC of an option payment related to the canceled Pickens County Pumped
Storage Hydroelectric Project and partly due to normal variations in the timing
of liabilities activity.
