$14 billion. Opponents of the nuclear expansion at Plant Vogtle urged the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) in vain to cancel the project and instead step up the state’s commitment to expanding renewable energy options.

The PSC voted last August to cap the costs Georgia Power would be allowed to pass on to customers at nearly $7.6 billion, with shareholders picking up the rest.

Georgia Power was a 45% partner in the Vogtle expansion, working with Oglethorpe Power, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG) and Dalton Utilities.
