Resilience
Every day, we're putting our vision of a resilient energy future in motion. By making smart investments today, including carbon-free nuclear, we're preparing to meet our customers' needs tomorrow.
Southern Company is building the first new nuclear units in the United States in more than three decades, Plant Vogtle units 3 &4 in Georgia. Plant Vogtle represents one of the largest and most important infrastructure investment projects underway in the country, the units will help increase our nation's energy independence and national security.
Once complete, the site will be the single largest generator of carbon-free energy in the U.S., powering 1 million homes and businesses across the state.
" We're making history as we approach bringing online the first new nuclear units to be built in the country in over 30 years. These units are important to building the future of energy and will serve as clean, emission-free sources of energy for Georgians for the next 60 to 80 years."
-Chris Womack, president Southern Company
