                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore entered into a Senior Note Indenture,
dated as of January 1, 1998 (the "Original Indenture"), with The Bank of New
York (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase
Manhattan Bank)), as heretofore supplemented;

     WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is incorporated herein by this reference
and the Original Indenture, as heretofore supplemented and as further
supplemented by this Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the
"Indenture";

     WHEREAS, under the Original Indenture, a new series of Senior Notes may at
any time be established by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance
with the provisions of the Original Indenture and the terms of such series may
be described by a supplemental indenture executed by the Company and the
Trustee;

     WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under the Indenture a new series of
Senior Notes;

     WHEREAS, additional Senior Notes of other series hereafter established,
except as may be limited in the Original Indenture as at the time supplemented
and modified, may be issued from time to time pursuant to the Indenture as at
the time supplemented and modified; and

     WHEREAS, all conditions necessary to authorize the execution and delivery
of this Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture and to make it a valid and binding
obligation of the Company have been done or performed.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements and obligations set
forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE 1

                            Series 2007B Senior Notes

<PAGE>

         There are to be authenticated and delivered $450,000,000 principal
amount of Series 2007B Notes, and such principal amount of the Series 2007B
Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 301 of the Original
Indenture. All Series 2007B Notes need not be issued at the same time and such
series may be reopened at any time, without the consent of any Holder, for
issuances of additional Series 2007B Notes. Any such additional Series 2007B
Notes will have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as those

203, 303, 304, 907 or 1107 of the Original Indenture. The Series 2007B Notes
shall be issued in definitive fully registered form.

2007B Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

         Each Series 2007B Note shall be dated the date of authentication
thereof and shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or
from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for.

         The Series 2007B Notes will not have a sinking fund.

         SECTION 102. Definitions. The following defined terms used herein
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified below.
Capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Original Indenture.

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the Series 2007B Notes to be redeemed that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of the Series 2007B Notes.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption
Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, or (ii) if the Company obtains fewer than four such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

         "Independent Investment Banker" means an independent investment banking
institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

         "Interest Payment Dates" means June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 2007.

         "Original Issue Date" means June 12, 2007.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a primary United States Government
securities dealer in New York City appointed by the Company.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to a
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by
the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount and quoted in
writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third Business Day in New York City preceding such Redemption Date).

         "Regular Record Date" means, with respect to each Interest Payment
Date, the close of business on the 15th calendar day preceding such Interest
Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day).

         "Stated Maturity" means June 1, 2017.

         "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate
per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such Redemption Date.

         SECTION 103. Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal of the
Series 2007B Notes shall be due at Stated Maturity (unless earlier redeemed).
The unpaid principal amount of the Series 2007B Notes shall bear interest at the
rate of 5.70% per annum until paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be paid
semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose
name the Series 2007B Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for such
Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable at the Stated Maturity of
principal or on a Redemption Date as provided herein will be paid to the Person
to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid
or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders on such
Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person or Persons in whose
name the Series 2007B Notes are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the Series 2007B Notes not
less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any
time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange, if any, on which the Series 2007B Notes shall be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Original Indenture.

         Payments of interest on the Series 2007B Notes will include interest
accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest
payments for the Series 2007B Notes shall be computed and paid on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which
interest is payable on the Series 2007B Notes is not a Business Day, then
payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect
of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the
payment was originally payable.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Payment of the principal and interest due at the Stated Maturity or
earlier redemption of the Series 2007B Notes shall be made upon surrender of the
Series 2007B Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The principal
of and interest on the Series 2007B Notes shall be paid in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Payments of interest (including interest on
any Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where
applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register or (ii) by wire transfer or other electronic transfer at such place and
to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be
designated in writing to the Trustee at least sixteen (16) days prior to the
date for payment by the Person entitled thereto.

         SECTION 104. Denominations. The Series 2007B Notes may be issued in
denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiple thereof.

         SECTION 105. Global Securities. The Series 2007B Notes will be issued
in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the
Depositary (which shall be The Depository Trust Company) or its nominee. Except
under the limited circumstances described below, Series 2007B Notes represented
by one or more Global Securities will not be exchangeable for, and will not
otherwise be issuable as, Series 2007B Notes in definitive form. The Global
Securities described above may not be transferred except by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or
another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

         Owners of beneficial interests in such a Global Security will not be
considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture, and no
Global Security representing a Series 2007B Note shall be exchangeable, except
for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor to be registered in
the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor Depositary or its
nominee. The rights of Holders of such Global Security shall be exercised only
through the Depositary.

         Subject to the procedures of the Depositary, a Global Security shall be
exchangeable for Series 2007B Notes registered in the names of persons other
than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such
Global Security and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the
Company, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a time when
the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no
successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Company, in each case
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
cessation, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global
Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) there shall have occurred an Event
of Default with respect to the Series 2007B Notes. Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Series
2007B Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

         SECTION 106. Transfer. No service charge will be made for any transfer
or exchange of Series 2007B Notes, but payment will be required of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.

                                       4
<PAGE>

         The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange
any Series 2007B Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen (15) days before the date of the mailing of a notice pursuant to Section
1104 of the Original Indenture identifying the serial numbers of the Series
2007B Notes to be called for redemption, and ending at the close of business on
the day of the mailing, or (b) to issue, transfer or exchange any Series 2007B
Notes theretofore selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Series 2007B Notes redeemed in part.

         SECTION 107. Redemption at the Company's Option. The Series 2007B Notes
will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the greater of
(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2007B Notes to be redeemed or (2)
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest on the Series 2007B Notes being redeemed discounted (for purposes
of determining present value) to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate
equal to the Treasury Yield plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued
interest thereon to the date of redemption.

         In the event of redemption of the Series 2007B Notes in part only, a
new Series 2007B Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion will be issued in the
name or names of the Holders thereof upon the surrender thereof.

         Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the
Original Indenture except that any notice of redemption shall not specify the
Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Trustee shall
not be responsible for the calculation of the Redemption Price. The Company
shall calculate the Redemption Price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof.

         Any redemption of less than all of the Series 2007B Notes shall, with
respect to the principal thereof, be divisible by $1,000.

                                    ARTICLE 2

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         SECTION 201. Recitals by Company. The recitals in this Twenty-Ninth
Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and
all of the provisions contained in the Original Indenture in respect of the
rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be
applicable in respect of Series 2007B Notes and of this Twenty-Ninth
Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in
full.

         SECTION 202. Ratification and Incorporation of Original Indenture. As
heretofore supplemented and as supplemented hereby, the Original Indenture is in
all respects ratified and confirmed, and the Original Indenture as heretofore
supplemented and as supplemented by this Twenty-Ninth Supplemental Indenture
shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.

         Georgia Power Company, a Georgia corporation (the "Company", which term
includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to on the
reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ______________,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of ______________ DOLLARS ($_________)

interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above, or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date as specified above,
commencing on December 1, 2007, and on the Stated Maturity (or upon earlier
redemption) at the rate per annum shown above until the principal hereof is paid
or made available for payment and at such rate on any overdue principal and on
any overdue installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest
Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date) will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (the
"Note") is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as
specified above next preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided that any
interest payable at the Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date will be paid
to the Person to whom principal is payable. Except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may

of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest
to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of
this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid
at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of

<PAGE>

any securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes of this series shall be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by any such exchange, all as
more fully provided in the Indenture.

         Payments of interest on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for this Note
shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is
not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be
made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect
as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. A "Business Day"
shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive
order to remain closed or a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee is closed for business.

         Payment of the principal of and interest due at the Stated Maturity or
earlier redemption of the Series 2007B Notes shall be made upon surrender of the
Series 2007B Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The principal
of and interest on the Series 2007B Notes shall be paid in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Payment of interest (including interest on
an Interest Payment Date) will be made, subject to such surrender where
applicable, at the option of the Company, (i) by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register or (ii) by wire transfer or other electronic transfer at such place and
to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be
designated in writing to the Trustee at least 16 days prior to the date for
payment by the Person entitled thereto.

         REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET
FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES
HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
