Energy Net on 20 Mar 09The Georgia Public Service Commission approved Tuesday two additional nuclear reactors for Georgia Power. The decision means the utility can begin expanding its Vogtle nuclear plant two years from now, as long as it gets all other needed permits. Customers will also begin paying for the $6.4 billion project then, thanks to a bill the Legislature passed last month. Customers must begin paying financing costs six years before the reactors are done. The Legislature saved the PSC from making a decision on those early charges.
