Dive Summary:
- Scana Corp., the owner of South Carolina Electric & Gas, says it will see a delay in the start of the twin reactors it’s building in the state.
- In addition to $200 million in unforeseen costs, the project’s subcontractor is struggling to meet deadlines and quality standards, Scana said Wednesday.
- Construction is taking place near Columbia, South Carolina, and completion of the project will be delayed past its May 2018 target to start producing power.
From the article:
“The delays are the latest setback as Scana, based in Cayce, South Carolina, and Atlanta-based Southern build the first new U.S. reactors to be licensed since the Three Mile Island accident in 1979.”
