Deal praises recommendation of co-owners of Vogtle 3 and 4 
 
Gov. Nathan Deal today praised the recommendation of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 coowners to complete construction of a new clean energy source for Georgians. This recommendation was made today in a filing to the Georgia Public Service Commission. 
 
"I'm extremely pleased to learn the co-owners of Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 have recommended completion of construction," said Deal. "Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power, MEAG Power and Dalton Utilities have made the right decision for our state. These new units will provide clean and affordable energy to Georgians for more than 60 years while creating 6,000 jobs during project construction and 800 well-paying, permanent ones after."
