Description
Description | The project involves converting the former Canadys coal-fired plant in Colleton County, South Carolina, into a natural gas power plant with a capacity of 2,200 megawatts. The project is a joint energy initiative between Santee Cooper and Dominion Energy, aimed at replacing decommissioned power plants with a cleaner and more cost-effective natural gas option. The project cost has increased from initial estimates of up to $3 billion to about $5 billion due to increased turbine demand, inflation, and labor costs. |
