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.
