Environmental Stewardship
Santee Cooper's environmental efforts are core to our company's vision and beliefs.
Our Santee Cooper Green Power program was the first in South Carolina to generate electricity for our customers from renewable resources, and it remains the largest program of its kind in the state. That's just one example of the innovative and pioneering approaches we’ve taken as environmental stewards.
We are committed to improving the lives of South Carolinians through sustainable business practices that prioritize environmental stewardship. We will fulfill this commitment through:
- Accountability, with a focus on environmental compliance and risk management.
- Innovation, including a transformed generation portfolio and other activities to reduce carbon emission.
- Engagement with our customers, communities, employees, and other stakeholders on environmental issues.
Renewable Energy
Renewable generation is part of our long-term commitment to environmental stewardship — to meet more of our customers' needs with renewable energy, energy efficiency and electricity that does not emit greenhouse gases.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles offer a clean, quiet, and enjoyable ride, and the coming years will offer more options than ever. With carmakers increasing the production of electric vehicles and more charging stations being installed across the country, there has never been a better time to drive an electric vehicle.
Sea Turtle Protection
South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts (SCUTE) is a group of volunteers dedicated to sea turtle conservation in Georgetown and Horry counties.
Organized in 1990, SCUTE is permitted by the S.C. Department of Natural Resources to protect turtle nests, relocate turtle nests if necessary and record turtle deaths through the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.
Distributed Generation
Customer-based Solar
Santee Cooper supports development of solar power resources. We’ve been generating solar energy for our customers since 2006, and we’ve promoted it with the state’s electric cooperatives through demonstration projects all across South Carolina.
GOFER
Give Oil For Energy Recovery (GOFER) is Santee Cooper's used oil collection and recovery program and the state's largest used-oil collection program for do-it-yourselfers.
