Cooperatives are owned, operated and controlled by our ratepayers. Providing transparency and input to the people who receive electricity from a cooperative is crucial to its success.
For the direct and indirect customers of Santee Cooper, the bill for the failed nuclear units remains high. Without relief, this will mean more than $4,200 over the next 40 years to every cooperative ratepayer.
Consumer interest in finding new renewable sources of electricity, like solar and wind, continues to rise. Adding those resources onto our electric system in a way that saves ratepayers money is critical to their success.
