5 when compared to the corresponding period in 2024 primarily due to base tariff increases and increased ECCR tariff revenues in accordance with the 2022 ARP, the inclusion of Plant Vogtle Unit 4 in retail rates net of elimination of the NCCR tariff, and higher contributions from commercial and industrial customers with variable demand-driven pricing.

Changes in sales resulted in an increase in revenues in the third quarter and year-to-date 2025 when compared to the corresponding periods in 2024.

Weather-adjusted commercial KWH sales increased 5.1% and 3.7% in the third quarter and year-to-date 2025, respectively, primarily due to increased customer usage, primarily driven by data centers. Weather-adjusted industrial KWH sales increased 2.6% in the third quarter 2025 primarily due to increases in the electronics and primary metals sectors, partially offset by a decrease in the chemicals sector. Weather-adjusted industrial KWH sales increased 2.1% for year-to-date 2025 primarily due to increases in the electronics, paper, and transportation sectors, partially offset by decreases in the pipeline and textiles sectors.

Fuel revenues and costs are allocated between retail and wholesale jurisdictions. Retail fuel cost recovery revenues increased in the third quarter and year-to-date 2025 when compared to the corresponding periods in 2024 due to higher recoverable fuel costs. Electric rates include provisions to adjust billings for fluctuations in fuel costs, including the energy component of purchased power costs. Under these fuel cost recovery provisions, fuel revenues generally equal fuel expenses and do not affect net income. See Note (B) to the Condensed Financial Statements herein and Note 2 to the financial statements under "Georgia Power – Fuel Cost Recovery" in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.
