6 March 2008 -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved Southern Co.'s request to increase the generating capacity of the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Georgia by 1.7 percent. The power uprate will increase Vogtle Unit 1 from about 1,109 MW to 1,174 MW, and Unit 2 from about 1,127 MW to 1,173 MW.

Plant output will increase through more accurate means of measuring feedwater flow. The feedwater system pumps water from the condenser to the steam generator.

The company said it plans to implement Unit 1's up-rate at the completion of the spring 2008 refueling outage and Unit 2's up-rate at the completion of the fall 2008 refueling outage.
