Where does the electricity for the Green Power Program come from?

There are cur­rent­ly 6 land­fill methane gas facil­i­ties in South Car­oli­na at Hor­ry Sol­id Waste Author­i­ty, Lee Coun­ty Land­fill SC, LLC, Rich­land Coun­ty Land­fill, Ander­son Region­al Land­fill SC, LLC, George­town Coun­ty Land­fill, and Berke­ley Coun­ty Land­fill. The land­fills have a com­bined total installed capac­i­ty of 30 MW. Also, there are 3 Green Pow­er Solar demon­stra­tion projects in the state at Grand Strand Solar Sta­tion in Myr­tle Beach, SC, Coastal Car­oli­na Uni­ver­si­ty in Con­way, SC, and The Tech­ni­cal Col­lege of the Low­coun­try in Bluffton, SC. With 28 school-based, solar pow­er sites through­out the state, we’re doing more to than spear­head­ing the effort to con­vert sun­light into clean, pol­lu­­tion-free elec­tric­i­ty for all of our cus­tomers. We’re edu­cat­ing tomor­row’s lead­ers about the oppor­tu­ni­ties and lim­i­ta­tions of solar pow­er. We are also explor­ing appli­ca­tions for small­er wind tur­bines onshore, and in Novem­ber 2010, San­tee Coop­er made his­to­ry as the first util­i­ty to install a wind tur­bine and con­nect it to the grid. The 2.4 kW Skys­tream wind tur­bine is locat­ed ocean­front in North Myr­tle Beach.
