You have the power to confidently make smart, informed decisions on how you manage your home’s electric use – and we’re here to help by providing insight, expertise, resources and rebates.
By taking energy usage into your own hands, you can save energy and money. Plus, when you save, your neighbors also save. Using less electricity in smarter ways allows Santee Cooper to spend less on generation and fuel, and we pass those savings on to you and all customers. Everyone can make a difference.

We’re putting money back in your pocket. Santee Cooper offers rebates through our Smart Energy Existing Homes Program for qualifying equipment installed in your home.

- Single Family Homes ‐ non‐stacked residences with their own HVAC and water heating systems (i.e. Detached Homes, Duplexes, and Townhomes)
- Multi‐Family Homes ‐ any stacked residences with their own HVAC and water heating systems (i.e. Apartments and Condominiums)
