The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that Georgia Power's parent company, Southern Company, submitted a request to the Public Service Commission today. The reactors would go up at Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro, south of Augusta. Georgia Power also submitted a proposal to convert a coal-fired plant near Albany to burn renewable biomass wood.
