South Carolina Coop to Add Solar Energy to Resource Portfolio
Central Electric Power Cooperative, a South Carolina electric cooperative, recently announced intention to obtain as much as 363 MW of solar generating capacity through power purchase agreements with independent solar developers. Central Electric Power Cooperative is coordinating with Santee Cooper in a joint request for proposals to procure up to 500 MW of solar generation capacity, but it will be pursuing its own separate power purchase agreements with solar developers for its pro rata share of the procurement.
