                             MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

(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, 1996 and 1995.  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.

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

GENERAL
As a means of reducing the cost of power provided to the Members, on January 
3, 1996, Oglethorpe entered into a power supply swap agreement with Enron 
Power Marketing, Inc. (EPMI).  The agreement, effective January 4, 1996 
through April 30, 1996, required EPMI to sell to Oglethorpe at a favorable 
fixed rate all the energy necessary to meet the Members' requirements.  
Pursuant to the agreement, Oglethorpe was required to sell to EPMI at cost, 
subject to certain limitations, upon request all energy available from 
Oglethorpe's total power resources. Under the agreement, Oglethorpe 
maintained the responsibility of operating the power supply system and 
continued to dispatch the generating resources to ensure system reliability.  
See "OPERATING REVENUES" and "OPERATING EXPENSES" below for a discussion of 
the impact of the power supply swap agreement on first quarter 1996 results 
of operations.  On April 30, 1996, Oglethorpe and EPMI entered into an 
agreement which extended the term of this power supply swap agreement, with 
certain modifications, from May 1, 1996 through August 31, 1996.

On February 7, 1996, Oglethorpe issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to 
selected bidders for a long-term power supply arrangement.  This RFP did not 
seek a specific amount of power; instead, it requested proposals for meeting 
the combined power needs of the Members with term options ranging from two to 
15 years.  Currently, discussions are focused on proposals from EPMI, LG&E 
Power Marketing Inc. and a joint proposal from Duke/Louis Dreyfus LLC & 
Georgia Power Company (GPC).  The current four-month agreement with EPMI will 
provide the energy needed to serve the Members while Oglethorpe finalizes a 
long-term power supply arrangement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Oglethorpe's net margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $9.0 million 
compared to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 1995.

OPERATING REVENUES 
The increase in Member revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to the same period of 1995 was due to the recovery of additional 
fixed costs of the Rocky Mountain Project (Rocky Mountain) and the increased 
fixed cost responsibility resulting from the scheduled end of Sell-back 
revenues from GPC under the plant operating agreements (discussed below).  
Energy revenues from sales to Members for the three-month period of 1996 were 
virtually unchanged from the same period of the prior year despite the fact 
that megawatt-hour (MWh) sales increased 15.5% due to prolonged colder than 
normal weather. Oglethorpe achieved substantial savings in energy costs in 
the first quarter under the power supply swap agreement with EPMI which were 
passed through to the Members.  Oglethorpe's average energy revenue per MWh 
for the first quarter of 1996 was 14% less than the same period of 1995.

                                        8

Sales to non-Members were 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 three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:

                                  =======       =======
</TABLE>

While total revenues from non-Members were virtually the same, revenues from 
sales to utilities other than GPC increased significantly and revenues from 
the plant operating agreements and power supply arrangements with GPC were 
significantly lower.

Under the plant operating agreements, GPC purchased capacity and energy from 
Oglethorpe on a declining scale in the early years of operation of certain 
co-owned generating units.  As scheduled, effective June 1, 1995, revenues 
from GPC pursuant to the plant operating agreements ended.

The second source of non-Member revenues is derived pursuant to power supply 
arrangements with GPC.  These revenues are derived from energy sales arising 
from dispatch situations whereby GPC causes Plant Wansley to be operated when 
Oglethorpe's system does not require all of its contractual entitlement to 
the generation.  These revenues compensate Oglethorpe for its costs since, 
under the operating agreements, Oglethorpe is responsible for its share of 
fuel costs any time a unit operates.  Such sales were significantly lower in 
the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995.

Revenues from sales to non-Member utilities (other than GPC) increased 
substantially due to a 12.5% increase in MWh sales in the three months ended 
March 31, 1996 compared to the same period of 1995.  As discussed under 
"General" above, this increase was due to EPMI marketing available energy 
from Oglethorpe's total power resources.  Under the power supply swap 
agreement, sales to non-Member utilities are effectively transacted with EPMI 
while in 1995 these sales were made by Oglethorpe directly with the 
non-Member utilities.  All profits on sales made by EPMI to other utilities 
from Oglethorpe's resources accrue to EPMI.

OPERATING EXPENSES
The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to the same period of 1995 was primarily attributable to an increase 
in purchased power.  In 1996, purchased power energy costs and MWhs increased 
by 42% and 39%, respectively, as EPMI utilized purchased resources to provide 
Oglethorpe's Member load and for increased sales to other utilities.

<PAGE>

Depreciation and amortization and taxes other than income taxes (property 
taxes) increased due to the commercial operation of Rocky Mountain in June 
1995.

OTHER INCOME
Other income for the first quarter of 1996 increased compared to the same 
period of 1995 primarily as a result of higher 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 1996, the 
remaining amount of $32 million was authorized as compared to $16 million for 
1995.  Interest income increased due to higher average cash balances during 
the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995.

INTEREST CHARGES
The increase in net interest charges for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 compared to 1995 resulted from Rocky Mountain becoming commercially 
operable in June 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets and total equity plus liabilities as of March 31, 1996 were $5.4 
billion which was $47 million less than the total at December 31, 1995.

ASSETS
Property additions for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled $25 
million and included additions, replacements and improvements to transmission 
and distribution facilities and existing generation facilities.

The decrease in cash and temporary cash investments was partly due to 
property additions funded from cash, premiums paid on refinanced debt and 
scheduled debt service payments.

Other short-term investments represent investments whose maturity periods 
exceed Oglethorpe's policy of three months for classification as cash 
equivalents. During the first quarter of 1996, an additional $10 million was 
transferred into investments with maturities of more than three months.

Prepayments and other current assets increased primarily due to a $3 million 
increase in the payment made to GPC for estimates of Plant Hatch and Plant 
Wansley operations and maintenance costs for April 1996 compared to the 
estimate paid for January 1996.

The increase in other deferred charges primarily resulted from the deferral 
of $6.3 million of nuclear refueling outage costs related to Vogtle Unit No. 
1 and Hatch Unit No. 1 which will be recovered through rates over a period of 
eighteen months.

                                       10

<PAGE>

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES
Deferred margins to be refunded within one year decreased by $10.2 million 
which is the amount that was refunded to the Members for the first three 
months of 1996.

Accounts payable declined as of March 31, 1996 as a result of normal 
variations in the timing of payables activity.

Accrued interest decreased primarily due to normal payments and accruals of 
interest.

Accrued and withheld taxes increased as a result of the normal monthly 
accruals of property taxes, which are generally paid in the fourth quarter of 
the year.

Other current liabilities decreased partly due to the year-end accrual for 
employee incentive pay (subsequently paid in March 1996) and partly due to 
normal activity.

          4.3.1     AVAILABILITY OF NUCLEAR OPC RESOURCES.  (a) The EPMI
     Sales Price has been computed based upon certain assumptions relating
     to the expected availability of the nuclear OPC Resources during the
     four-month period commencing May 1, 1996 and ending on the Termination
     Date.  Such price assumes (i) expected cumulative availability
     (measured in MWh) of [        ]* for Plant Hatch (Units 1 and 2
     combined) and [        ]* for Plant Vogtle (Units 1 and 2 combined)
     and (ii) target cumulative availability (measured in MWh) of [       
     ]* for Plant Hatch (Units 1 and 2 combined) and [         ]* for Plant
     Vogtle (Units 1 and 2 combined), in each case for such period, as
     reflected on Exhibit 4.3.1 hereof.  Adjustments to the amounts
     otherwise due to EPMI or OPC shall be made to reflect and take into
     account (i) the amount that the actual availability of Plant Hatch and
     Plant Vogtle, respectively, is less than the expected availability of
     such nuclear OPC Resources and (ii) the amount that the actual
     availability of Plant Hatch and Plant Vogtle, respectively, exceeds
     the target availability of such nuclear OPC Resources.  If Plant Hatch
     or Plant Vogtle generates Electric Energy in excess of the target MWh
     availability, additional amounts (as described below) shall be payable
     by EPMI to OPC.  Alternatively, if Plant Hatch or Plant Vogtle
     generates Electric Energy less than the expected MWh availability,
     then OPC shall owe additional amounts (as described below) to EPMI.

          (b)  If the total actual OPC nuclear generation (in MWh) ("Total
     Actual OPC Nuclear Generation") for Plant Hatch or Plant Vogtle,
     respectively, shall exceed the total target OPC nuclear generation (in
     MWh) ("Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation") for the respective
     generation facilities ("Excess Generation"), then EPMI shall pay to
     OPC an amount equal to the product of:  (i) the amount of such Excess
     Generation and (ii) [        ]* if the nuclear OPC Resource that shall
     have experienced Excess Generation is Plant Hatch and [        ]* if
     the nuclear OPC Resource that shall have experienced Excess Generation
     is Plant Vogtle.  If the Total Actual OPC Nuclear Generation for Plant
     Hatch or Plant Vogtle is less than the total expected OPC nuclear
     generation (in MWh) ("Total Expected OPC Nuclear Generation") for the
     respective plants ("Generation Shortfall"), regardless of whether the
     Generation Shortfall results from or is the result of a scheduled or
     forced outage, a limited load operating condition or other event or
     condition that adversely affects the availability of such nuclear OPC
     Resource, then OPC shall pay to EPMI an amount equal to the product
     of:  (i) the Generation Shortfall and (ii) [        ]* if the nuclear
     OPC Resource that shall have suffered a Generation Shortfall is Plant
     Hatch and [        ]* if the nuclear OPC Resource that shall have
     suffered a Generation Shortfall is Plant Vogtle.

          (c)  The Total Actual OPC Nuclear Generation for Plant Hatch and
     Plant Vogtle shall be compared to Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation
     and Total Expected OPC Nuclear Generation, respectively, for the Plant
     Hatch and Plant Vogtle, respectively, computed on a cumulative basis
     from the Extension Commencement Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that as set
     forth on Exhibit 4.3.1 hereof, the amount by which Total Actual OPC
     Nuclear Generation is less than Total Expected Nuclear Generation and
     the amount by which Total Actual OPC Nuclear

      Generation exceeds Total Target OPC Nuclear Generation shall be 
      compared at the end of each month during the four-month period 
      commencing on the Extension Commencement Date and ending on the 
      Termination Date and shall be settled financially between OPC and 
      EPMI on a monthly basis.

          (d)  Exhibit 4.3.1 sets forth the intended operation of this
     Section 4.3.1, reflecting possible variances in availability (in MWh)
     on a month-to-month basis, resulting in payments between the Parties
     on account of Excess Generation in certain months and Generation
     Shortfalls in others.

          (e)  It is expressly agreed that any payments payable under Section
     4.3.1, as such section read in the Original Master Agreement, and not 
     paid on or before the Extension Commencement Date, shall remain payable 
     and shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.3.1 as such section read 
     in the Original Master Agreement.

     6.   Section 4.3.3 of the Original Master Agreement shall not be
applicable, and a new Section 4.3.3, which shall be applicable, shall be added
and shall read as follows:

          [                                                                 
                                             ]*  

     7.   Section 4.3.4 of the Original Master Agreement shall be modified by
adding a new sentence after the third sentence of Section 4.3.4, which shall
read as follows:


          At the end of the Term, EPMI shall use its good faith efforts to
     cause the water level in the upper reservoir of Rocky Mountain to be
     approximately the same water level as the water level that existed in
     the upper reservoir of Rocky Mountain on the Commencement Date.

     8.   Section 4.3.5 of the Original Master Agreement shall cease to be
applicable.

     9.   Article 5 of the Original Master Agreement shall be modified by adding
a new Section 5.6, which shall be applicable and shall read as follows:

     5.6  FEBRUARY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT; AUTHORIZATION TO USE
  INFORMATION.  OPC expressly authorizes and grants its consent to EPMI to
  use New Confidential Information (as such term is defined in the February
  Confidentiality Agreement), whether acquired before or after the Effective
  Date, pertaining to, without limitation, OPC, OPC Resources, OPC Load, OPC
  Off-System Sales and the EMCs, for the purpose of exercising EPMI's rights
  under this Agreement, including EPMI's right to buy Electric Energy from
  OPC or any other person and to sell Electric Energy to OPC or any other
  person, whether Electric Energy is produced by or attributable to OPC
  Resources or other resources.
