As part of Santee Cooper’s ongoing conservation and renewable energy leadership efforts, the utility recently completed energy audits of its major facilities and buildings. The audits are part of how Santee Cooper is working to continually save energy and maximize efficiency, and also helping customers to go green, save money and save energy—through all of the utility’s Santee Cooper Green conservation and renewable energy programs.
Through the energy audits, Santee Cooper has identified where its buildings could be more energy efficient and has begun implementing upgrades, which will be completed throughout the coming months.
The utility is currently estimating potential energy and cost savings as a result of the implementation of the audit results.
“The reality is that South Carolina will need new, reliable power sources in the near future. In the meantime, Santee Cooper continues to expand and enhance ways to maximize available energy through conservation, and also generate power through renewable energy sources,” said Lonnie Carter, president and CEO of Santee Cooper. “Our efforts to date include being the first utility in the state to offer Green Power, generating electricity using landfill gas and solar, promoting conservation and energy efficiency, installing state-of-the-art emission control technology, and funding innovative research into alternative forms of energy.”
