必威betway今天宣布了沃格特尔3号的修订计划和成本预测 & 4、核电站扩建项目, 由于生产力的挑战和额外的测试和质量保证时间. The company currently projects a Unit 3 in-service date in the second quarter of 2022 and a Unit 4 in-service date in the first quarter of 2023, 代表每个单位换班三至四个月. The company has also revised the total project capital cost forecast to reflect this updated schedule – resulting in a $460 million increase to Georgia Power.

“我们知道在美国建造第一批新的核电站.S. 将会是一个挑战. 该项目在建设过程中经历了特殊的环境, 包括最近的大流行. 通过这些挑战，我们学到了很多. 单元3热功能测试现已成功完成，没有发现任何重大问题, 哪一步是走向成功的关键步骤,”沃玛克补充道.

随着第三单元热功能测试的完成, 3号单元的直接建设现在已经完成了99%, 完全的3号机组 & 4 .扩建工程约93%完成. 热功能测试的完成标志着向商业运营迈出了重要的一步. 在热功能测试期间, 工厂系统达到了正常的工作压力和温度, 没有核燃料, 一起验证反应堆部件和系统的成功运行.

无碳能源
新的Vogtle单元是格鲁吉亚电力公司提供安全的承诺的重要组成部分, 清洁, reliable and affordable energy for customers and play a significant role in supporting Southern 公司's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

一次操作, Vogtle工厂的两个新装置将能够提供超过500个能量,000个家庭和企业. 多样化的燃料混合, 包括核, is also essential to maintaining a reliable and affordable energy infrastructure that attracts new investment, 支持经济增长，创造就业机会.

超过7个,000名现场工人, 一旦这些设备开始运作，将有800多个固定职位可供选择, 3号机组 & 4号是乔治亚州目前最大的创造就业机会的建筑项目. 在建设期间，该项目也是该地区经济发展的推动力.
