SC customers could pay millions for a new power plant that may only run at half capacity
April 1, 2024
Imagine South Carolina building a large power plant to meet future electricity demand, then not being able to fully use it.
That’s a possibility under a new federal rule proposed last year to curb greenhouse gas pollution from coal and natural gas plants, say clean energy advocates who oppose a large gas plant planned for rural Colleton County. They say that under the rule, the new plant could operate at about half its capacity.
