Review of DOE Loan Guarantee Documents for Vogtle 3 and 4

Southern Alliance for Clean Energy
Project completed March 2013.

Synapse and Earth Track reviewed Department of Energy loan guarantee documents associated with the development of two nuclear reactors, Vogtle 3 and 4, in Georgia. These documents were released as a result of a Freedom of Information Act suit filed by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. Synapse evaluated 1) DOE's due diligence and risk assessment performed on the Vogtle Project, 2) the terms offered on the loan guarantees, and 3) potential conflicts of interest among involved parties.
