Another Delay for New Unit at Vogtle Nuclear Plant
Jun 17, 2023
Georgia Power said commercial operation of the new Unit 3 at Plant Vogtle has been delayed for at least another month. The utility on June 16 said there’s a problem in the hydrogen system used to cool the main electrical generator.
Unit 3, part of a two-reactor expansion at the plant near Waynesboro, Georgia, had been expected to start sending electricity to the power grid this month, but the start date has now been pushed back to July at the earliest.
