After pushing to cap its financial responsibility for escalating construction costs at the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion, project co-owner Oglethorpe Power Corp. was still considering Georgia Power’s demands to approve continued construction without new conditions late on Sept. 25.
Georgia Power’s push for a decision came a day after OPC issued a conditional approval requiring caps. That vote prompted Georgia Power’s demand that Oglethorpe vote to continue construction without new conditions or Georgia Power would cancel the project. On Sept. 26, Oglethorpe released a statement indicating that the co-owners were working "to finalize details of an agreement among the co-owners and seek necessary approvals" by the end of the day.
