Plant Vogtle expansion receives support from Georgia’s energy regulators
Georgia regulators are doubling down on their support for the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion project, signalling their support in a meeting earlier this week. The project’s main contractor — Westinghouse Electric, a subsidiary of Japanese-based Toshiba Corporation — declared bankruptcy earlier this year causing uncertainty for both Plant Vogtle and another nuclear reactor project in South Carolina. Both projects represented the first new nuclear reactors being built in this country in more than two decades.
