Selected Highlights

Total Assets & Deferred
Outflows of Resources (dollars in thousands)

Total assets and deferred outflows of resources increased $27 million during 2018 due primarily to a $779 million increase in PP&E, partially offset by a $725 million decrease in special funds, mainly related to CWIP payments.

Total Revenues (dollars in thousands)

Total revenues increased $58 million during 2018 due primarily to certain timing factors and a planned reduction in Competitive Trust Funding. These factors were partially offset by a reduction in Participant billings for fuel expense.

Total Debt Outstanding (dollars in thousands)

During 2018, total debt outstanding decreased $119 million due mainly to scheduled principal payments exceeding new borrowings.

Total Debt Service

Because total debt service on our operating projects is expected to continue to decline, we have put MEAG Power in a favorable position to take on the debt related to the expansion at Plant Vogtle.
