Contractors told Southern Co. that two nuclear reactors it’s building near Augusta, Georgia, may not come online until early-to-mid 2017 and 2018, about a year later than planned.
Southern, based in Atlanta, hasn’t agreed to those later start dates and maintains the reactors can begin producing power by November 2016 and November 2017, Mark Williams, a spokesman for Southern’s Georgia Power utility, said in a telephone interview yesterday.
