Keynote Presentation Details

Project managers will get an opportunity to learn first-hand what it takes to run a project for the only nuclear power plant units under construction in the U.S., Georgia Power’s Vogtle 3 and 4. The $25 billion project is expected to deliver clean, sustainable energy and promises to shape the future of the nation's nuclear industry, partly because the reactors are the first new ones to be licensed and to begin construction in the U.S. since 1978. They were originally approved in 2012 at an estimated $14 billion, but endured licensing delays and cost overruns that nearly killed the project. In December 2017, the Georgia Public Service commission gave the green-light to proceed. Where has happened and where is the project now? Project executive David Jones will bring an update to project managers on the incredible journey of this much anticipated project.
