A broad budget agreement being voted on Thursday by U.S. lawmakers includes tax credits that would benefit two nuclear reactors under construction in Georgia by Southern Co., according to the bill’s text.
The project could secure about $2 billion in credits should Congress extend the current deadline, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Blatchford said in research published Tuesday. The current credits for nuclear power expire in 2021, before Southern’s reactors are expected to be placed in service.
