STP leads nation in generation

The South Texas Project's Unit 1 nuclear reactor safely led the nation - and all 442 reactors worldwide - in electric generation in 2007. In addition, STP's Unit 2 had the third highest production nationally and ranked number 14 globally despite a refueling and maintenance outage last year.

"Outstanding performance by STP employees and the careful planning and leadership by plant management continue to keep STP at the top of the industry. Thanks to them, our plant is a global leader in safely producing clean, efficient electric power," Site Vice President Ed Halpin said.

STP's two units produced more energy than the 32 other 2-unit plants in the country in 2007.
