Georgia Power agrees to limit cost
recovery for Plant Vogtle reactors
DAVE WILLIAMS
Capitol Beat News Service
ATFANTA- Georgia Power
has agreed to spare the utility’s
customers $2.6 billion of the
$10.2 billion it’s costing the
company to build two addi
tional nuclear reactors at Plant
Vogtle.
Under an agreement between
Georgia Power and the state
Public Service Commission’s
(PSC) Public Interest Advo
cacy Staff announced Wednes
day, the company would pass
on nearly $7.6 billion of the
project’s cost to customers,
with shareholders picking up
the rest.
If the PSC approves the
agreement, the average resi
dential customer’s monthly bill
would increase by $8.95.
The first of the new reactors
at the plant south of Augusta,
Unit 3, went into commercial
operation late last month after
years of delays and billions of
dollars in cost overruns. Fuel
loading has begun at Unit 4,
which is expected to go into
service late this year or early
next year.
Several environmental advo
cacy groups that have opposed
the project worked with Geor
gia Power and the PSC staff
on the proposed agreement.
As part of the deal, the utility
has agreed to expand its energy
efficiency and senior discount
programs.
“We reached key settlement
terms to mitigate bill hikes
for Georgians with limited
incomes and expand efficiency
programs to help reduce energy
usage and lower bills,” said
Bob Sherrier, a staff attorney
with the Southern Environmen
tal Faw Center.
“While project delays and
overruns do mean Georgians
will be paying for this project
for decades, Georgia Power
agreed to significantly lower
the construction costs they
were expected to pass on to
customers.”
PSC Chairman Jason Shaw
said the agreement is the prod
ucts of “countless hours of
analysis,” probably with more
evidence presented than for
any other project in the com
mission’s history.
“The culmination of con
struction on this historic proj
ect marks the expansion of
clean energy production for
another 60 to 80 years here in
Georgia,” Shaw said.
Under an agreement the PSC
and Georgia Power reached in
2018, any Vogtle-related rate
increase the commission ap
proves would not take effect
until a month after Unit 4 goes
into commercial operation.
