As South Carolina’s state-owned power and water utility, Santee Cooper remains deeply committed to being a reliable and trusted resource for all South Carolinians. Throughout 2025, our team laid the groundwork for a new era of progress: modernizing our generation and transmission systems, enhancing programs that help customers better manage their energy use and costs, and finding more opportunities to help our workforce grow their skills and expand their career development. We also reaffirmed our investment in our people and in the communities we serve by supporting economic development and strengthening outreach efforts across the state. Financially, we introduced new rate structures that ensure fairness for all customers.
A strong Santee Cooper is essential to a strong South Carolina. As our state continues to experience record growth, our responsibility to deliver reliable, affordable power and water becomes even more critical. With a clear understanding of what lies ahead, we are elevating our vision to be South Carolina’s leading resource for improving lives for generations to come. By striving to be a recognized authority in delivering innovative, dependable, and affordable electric and water solutions, we are positioning ourselves and South Carolina for lasting success. The progress achieved in 2025 has prepared us for this next era, and I am proud of our experienced and dedicated team whose work continues to make a meaningful difference across our state.
