The South Carolina Public Service Authority, also known as Santee Cooper, is in the process of relicensing the Santee Cooper Hydroelectric Power Project. The Project is located in southeast South Carolina on the Santee and Cooper Rivers in Berkeley, Calhoun, Clarendon, Orangeburg, and Sumter Counties and is operated in accordance with a licence issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Santee Cooper is presently operating the project under an annual renewal of the existing license until a final assessment of the application filed with the FERC is completed.
