What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Google signed a new tariff agreement with Georgia Power for nuclear power at the Hatch facility. This agreement supports Extended Power Uprates (EPU) on Georgia Power's nuclear units near Waynesboro, allowing the facilities to add approximately 96 megawatts of new capacity to the electric grid. The agreement is subject to approval by the Public Service Commission.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The filings include a new Nuclear Uprate (NU-1) tariff structure, and Google will subscribe to this tariff while receiving Zero-Emission Credits for the nuclear energy. This subscription is expected to enable approximately $900 million in projected benefits to customers over the life of the units.
