Co-op Receives Clean Energy from New Nuclear Unit

Tri-County EMC is now receiving safe, reliable, emission-free nuclear energy from Plant Vogtle Unit 4, the final unit to come online at the nuclear expansion project near Waynesboro, Georgia. Unit 4 reached commercial operation this May, following Unit 3, which went into service in July 2023. These new units will now help power Tri-County EMC members with reliable, clean energy for the next 60 to 80 years.

“Tri-County EMC strives to meet our members’ existing and expanding electricity needs with a diverse portfolio of safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy. Nuclear power represents a vital part of our energy mix as an essential source of around-the-clock clean electricity,” commented CEO Ray Grinberg. “With Plant Vogtle Unit 4 online and operating safely, I am proud that our members’ homes and businesses will be powered by reliable, emission-free nuclear energy for generations to come.”

Nuclear power is considered one of the most reliable energy sources. Now in service, Unit 4 can generate emission-free electricity at full power 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Plant Vogtle Units 1 and 2 have been providing safe, clean energy for Georgians for more than three decades. Among the largest clean energy projects in the nation, with Unit 4 in service, Plant Vogtle is now the largest generator of clean energy in the United States. The completion of the Vogtle expansion project represents a historic achievement as the first advanced commercial nuclear project in the nation in more than 30 years. (200209001)
