Reflections on Vogtle 3 From Chris Womack, Southern Company CEO

On Monday, Plant Vogtle Unit 3 entered into commercial operation. This is a historic moment for Southern Company, the state of Georgia and our country.

We embarked on this journey with a strong commitment to our customers, communities and the environment. Though the road was challenging, it was one we had to travel, and we did it. From the beginning, we recognized the need to make the investment to provide our customers with more carbon-free energy today and for generations to come. Tackling the hard things is not always easy, but we remained steadfast in our determination. Honoring our commitments to lead the way toward a net zero future and to deliver exceptional service and value to our customers made every step of this journey profoundly worthwhile.

Thank you to our employees, co-owners, stakeholders, labor partners and contractors who worked tirelessly to make this day possible.
