An environmental advocacy group sued the U.S. Department of Energy Tuesday over its loan guarantees to Southern Co.'s new nuclear plants.
The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy lawsuit says the DOE failed to respond to freedom of information requests for information about the loans: The DOE announced $8.3 billion in loan guarantees in February for Southern and its partners in building new nuclear reactors near Augusta.
The group had asked for a range of information related to the loan terms, including what was required of Southern, SACE director Stephen Smith said.
"We don't know what kind of skin is in the game for Southern Co. and its partners," he said.
