ATLANTA — The first of two new nuclear reactors being built at Georgia Power’s Plant Vogtle likely won’t go into service this November as planned, the Atlanta-based utility announced Friday.
The project could be delayed by one month or more at a cost of about $25 million for each month, Georgia Power disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
