On the Agenda

A bright idea
If construction goes according

to schedule, South Carolina’s largest
solar power facility could be feeding
electricity into the state’s power
grid by end of the year.
Construction on the 20-acre solar generating farm
in rural Colleton County—a joint effort between South
Carolina’s 20 electric cooperatives and Santee Cooper, the
state-owned utility—began in October. Plans call for the
plant to be finished by Dec. 31. When fully operational, the
facility could be capable of generating up to three megawatts of electricity while providing valuable real-world data
on the true potential of solar power in the Palmetto State.
The plant will be operated by Liberty Sun Energy,
part of InterTech Group based in North Charleston.
Santee Cooper will buy the farm’s solar power, working

GONE FISHIN’
The Vektor Fish & Game Forecast provides feeding and migration times. Major periods

with Central Electric Power
Cooperative and the state’s electric
cooperatives to distribute it to
homes and businesses. Cooperatives
view the farm as an opportunity to
learn how to more fully and cost
effectively integrate solar power into
the generation mix that serves their members.
“This project is a real-world, full-scale learning tool,”
said Central Electric Power CEO Ron Calcaterra. “The
question co-ops want to answer is how we can design a
consumer-friendly product that makes solar power available
to our members in a reliable, affordable and economically
sustainable way.”
