Big news for Georgia’s energy future ⚡ For 50 years, Plant Hatch has helped power Georgia’s growth—and will be there for decades more to come. 🎊 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission ⚛ has approved a 20-year license renewal—allowing Plant Hatch Unit 1 to operate through 2054 and Unit 2 through 2058. That’s up to 80 years of operation for each unit! “At Georgia Power, our commitment to our customers is to ensure that the reliable, affordable energy they expect is there when they need it. Our nuclear facilities provide reliable energy around the clock at a stable, predictable cost, and are central to how we deliver on this commitment,” said Kim Greene, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. “I’m proud of the work that happens every day at Plant Hatch, the dedication of the teams onsite, and that all of our customers benefit from the reliability and efficiency of this power plant. This license extension is great news as our state continues to grow and demand for electricity continues to increase.” And here’s a fun fact: Emission-free nuclear energy from Plants Hatch and Vogtle provided nearly 30 percent of our total energy production last year!
