Pee Dee Electrical Generating Station Project

What is the proposed project?

The proposed project consists of the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to study a cost-effective means to satisfy the projected demand for electrical generation capacity for the Santee Cooper's residential and commercial customers by 2012 to avoid an electrical shortfall.

Who is responsible for the project?

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for the preparation of the DEIS. They will be following the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to evaluate the project.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, under its authority from the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Clean Water Act, must approve permits prior to the construction of the electrical generating station project.

Who is the Project Applicant?

Santee Cooper is a state-owned public utility created in 1934 by the South Carolina General Assembly and first provided service to customers in 1942. Santee Cooper provides electrical service directly to approximately 156,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Additionally, Santee Cooper is the primary source of power distributed by 20 of South Carolina's electric cooperatives to over 665,000 customers located in all of the state's 46 counties.
