I reiterate that the official name of our facility is "Vogtle Electric Generating Plant", not "Plant Vogtle". It would be appropriate for a redirect of "Plant Vogtle" to point to this page. Efforts should be made for the accurate title of all plants, buildings, and structures. Colloquial names are great, but since Wikipedia is a reference source of sorts, only official titles of facilities should be used. (For example, "Big Ben" is a redirect for "Clock Tower, Palace of Westminster".) Goodmapd 22:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
COI
I have raised the matter of COI here. There is no great problem IMO, user has just been bold and no damage done. Andrewa ( talk) 04:39, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
The offical name of the plant is "Vogtle Electric Generating Plant", not "Vogtle Nuclear Generating Station". When cross-referencing this facility with documents/websites from the NRC, NEI, Southern Company, etc., the plant is always referenced by its offical title. The title of the article should correspond to the plant's actual title. Goodmapd 22:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I have moved the article to its correct title and changed some of the pages that link here to avoid the redirect. Goodmapd 16:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

See https://www.powermag.com/vogtle-2-installs-worlds-first-accident-tolerant-nuclear-fuel-assemblies/ for some information that probably belongs in the article. Andrewa ( talk) 04:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
According to Nuclear renaissance units 3 and 4 are in operation, but the table here says not. Gah4 ( talk) 09:13, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

The shorter table which shows data by one row per each Unit of the plant could better represent the facts, especially those related to Units 1 and 2. A longer table, deeper in the article, which includes a row for each year of power generation, lists the output of the overall plant for 2022 as 19,515,206 MWh. Since neither Unit 3 nor Unit 4 was generating commercial power during 2022 this figure must be the combined output of Units 1 and 2.
For the general public it's a fairly challenging proposition to get from 19,515,206 MWh to average MW output. Noting that 2022 was not a leap year, here is the math: MW(avg) = MWh/h Unit-wise, MWh = MegaWatts x hours. Dividing MWh by hours will produce MW(avg) There were 365*24 = 8,760. hours in 2022 because it was not a leap year. MW(avg) = 19,515,206. / 8,760. = 2,228 MW(avg) This figure makes sense for the average COMBINED output of Unit 1 and Unit 2. Dividing by 2, a 'Per Unit Average MWe Output' of 1,114 MW also makes sense. This figure should be shown in the "Net" column for each Unit.
A typical power generating station consumes onsite about 3-5% of the electrical power output of its turbine-generators. Accordingly the gross MWe output figure, corresponding to 1,114 MWe net, would be no lower than 1172 MWe PER UNIT. The sum of the Gross figures for Units 1 and 2 cannot be lower than 2344 MWe COMBINED. The 1229 MWe figure is absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.227.187.73 ( talk) 12:03, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
