Something big has happened in the realm of nuclear power, strengthening the case for the energy source. Vogtle Unit 3 began supplying its first electricity to the grid on April 1. It’s the first truly new reactor in the U.S. since 1996, 27 years ago.
Unit 3 is scheduled to enter commercial operations by the middle of this year, with the nearby Unit 4 projected to be complete later this year. Together, the new units will provide electricity to half a million homes and businesses in Georgia.
