South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has issued an executive order that establishes a working group to ensure the state has the energy capacity needed for the future.
Gov. McMaster issued the order Friday, June 9, during a statewide energy summit held at the University of South Carolina Alumni Center.
McMaster’s order establishes the PowerSC Energy Resources and Economic Development Interagency Working Group, which will be known as PowerSC.
The group will work energy stakeholders around the state to develop strategic plans to build energy capacity to meet both the state’s economic growth and the rapidly growing population, according to state officials.
“South Carolina has enjoyed unprecedented economic success and population growth in recent years, and with that success comes a need for greater energy generation,” McMaster said. “By establishing PowerSC, we ensure that South Carolina can meet these increased energy demands while also keeping energy costs low for consumers and ratepayers.”
