Georgia's Plant Vogtle achieves full power output from third nuclear reactor.

Unit 3 at Plant Vogtle in Georgia has reached its full output of 1,100 megawatts of electricity, enough to power an estimated 500,000 homes and businesses. The reactor is scheduled to enter commercial operation within the next month. The fourth reactor is expected to reach commercial operation between December 2023 and March 2024. Georgia Power owns 45.7% of the reactors, and almost every electric customer in Georgia will pay for Vogtle. The cost of the third and fourth reactors is now on track to cost the owners $31 billion.
