Item 8.01. Other Events.
Georgia Power Company (“Georgia Power”), Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia, and the City of Dalton, Georgia, acting by and through its Board of Water, Light, and Sinking Fund Commissioners, doing business as Dalton Utilities (collectively, the “Vogtle Owners”) have entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”), dated as of August 31, 2018, to their joint ownership agreements (the “Joint Ownership Agreements”) for Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4. The Amendment amends, clarifies and provides procedures for certain provisions of the Joint Ownership Agreements related to adverse events that require the vote of the holders of at least 90% of the ownership interests in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 to continue construction (“Project Adverse Events”).
The Amendment clarifies that Georgia Power’s public announcement of its intention not to submit for rate recovery any portion of its investment in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 (or its associated financing costs) would constitute a Project Adverse Event and provides voting procedures for any Vogtle Owner vote triggered by a Project Adverse Event. The Amendment does not modify the requirement that, following a Project Adverse Event, the holders of at least 90% of the ownership interests in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 must conduct a vote to continue construction. As previously announced, such a vote is expected to occur in the third quarter 2018.
The Amendment also clarifies the operation of the Vogtle Owner approval requirement following a vote to continue construction which approves a new schedule or cost. In such a case, the Amendment provides that an incremental increase of $1 billion in cost or one year in schedule over the newly-approved schedule or cost would constitute a new Project Adverse Event.
The ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
