Brookfield Offers $2.7 Billion To Finish Reactors

Brookfield Asset Management has offered $2.7 billion to state-owned Santee Cooper to complete two half-built reactors at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station in South Carolina, the utility’s board approved on Monday. The proposal would give Brookfield at least 75% of the plant’s output and could erase most of Santee Cooper’s nuclear-related debt, but would require up to two years of negotiations, inspections and license renewals.
