Why Vogtle matters to Georgia’s energy future
Nuclear energy is a 24/7, emission-free power source – giving us a clean energy source for Georgia homes and businesses for the next 60-80 years.
Reliability
Nuclear power units, like those at Plant Vogtle, are the most reliable energy source, able to generate electricity at full power 24/7 – more than twice as much as solar and wind resources. Nuclear also requires fewer maintenance outages than coal or gas, making electricity even more reliable for Georgians.
Clean Energy
Nuclear energy is the only zero-emission baseload energy source available today, offering high reliability and efficient operations around the clock, and currently provides approximately 25% of Georgia Power's overall annual energy mix.
Growing Georgia
Clean, safe, reliable, and affordable energy from our nuclear resources helps give businesses and industries the confidence to stay or locate in Georgia – generating thousands of jobs and capital investments in the state.
