Latest News: Vogtle Unit 4 connects to electric grid (3/1/2024)

Clean energy for a growing Georgia

As America’s first new nuclear investment in 30 years, Vogtle Units 3 & 4 are bringing the next generation of advanced clean energy to Georgia.

Georgia Power is constructing the nation’s first new nuclear units in more than 30 years at Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro, Georgia. Upon completion, Units 3 & 4, along with existing Units 1 & 2, are expected to power more than 1 million homes and businesses. Once completed, we expect Vogtle 1-4 will generate more carbon-free electricity each year than any other energy facility currently operating in the US.
