"Couick believes that broader partnerships would be best for the utilities and for his 1.5 million co-op ratepayers. Under the model that Couick’s organization is advocating, the four new reactors should be brought online one at a time, with the first at Summer, then the second at Lee.

“I think the cooperatives’ preference is that the Carolinas hang together” to make the most cost-effective investment, Couick said."
