-outage maintenance expenses at Georgia Power.

For year-to-date 2025, other operations and maintenance expenses were $4.9 billion compared to $4.5 billion for the corresponding period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $144 million increase in generation expenses primarily due to non-outage maintenance expenses largely resulting from Plant Vogtle Unit 4 being placed in service in April 2024 at Georgia Power, as well as planned outages at Alabama Power and Southern Power, a $114 million gain from the sale of integrated transmission system assets at Georgia Power recorded in the second quarter 2024, and increases of $58 million in certain employee compensation and benefit expenses at the traditional electric operating companies, $48 million in certain technology infrastructure and application production costs, $35 million in expenses passed through to customers primarily related to bad debt and energy efficiency programs at Southern Company Gas, $34 million in compensation and benefit expenses at Southern Company Gas, and $34 million in expenses at PowerSecure primarily related to distributed infrastructure projects, partially offset by decreases of $36 million related to an impairment loss in 2024 associated with Alabama Power discontinuing the development of a multi-use commercial facility and $30 million in reliability-related transmission, distribution, and generation expenses at Alabama Power.

See Note (B) to the Condensed Financial Statements under "Alabama Power – Reliability Reserve Accounting Order" and "Georgia Power – Nuclear Construction" herein and Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements under "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and "Georgia Power," respectively, in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for additional information.
