In its latest progress report to the state’s Public Service Commission, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company released their 1st quarterly report for 2017 stating that the VC Summer nuclear construction project is now over 64% complete. The substantial completion dates for the two AP1000 units are currently unchanged from previous timelines but are to be re-evaluated in light of Westinghouse’s recent bankruptcy filing. Currently the units are targeted for completion in April 2020 for unit 2 and December 2020 for unit 3.
