Capacity conventions differ: the NRC record cites 1,676 MWe of Surry generating capacity, while an EIA-derived listing reports 1,695 MW of nameplate capacity. The description uses the NRC generating-capacity figure where plant-level capacity is stated. The 2032–2078 decommissioning schedule in a 2019 SEC filing reflected the then-current licenses; the 2021 subsequent renewals changed the authorized operating horizon to 2052 and 2053. The 2023 modernization contract explicitly covers six replacement steam generators; no equipment count is inferred from capacity. A secondary-source figure reports $1.868 billion in 2007-dollar construction cost. It is treated as a construction-cost estimate, not as project financing, sale consideration, or a portfolio transaction value. --- Canonical page: https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/surry Source: Ask the Grid — https://askthegrid.com/
