D.C. Power Companies Lean Heavily On Nuclear
In 1987 South Carolina will generate more electricity from nuclear power than other Southeastern states. Duke Power Company, South Carolina Electric and Gas, and Carolina Light and Power will supply about 40 percent of their power to SC customers. SCE&G runs the V C Summer Nuclear Station in Jenkinsville and Carolina Light and Power runs the H B Robinson Plant at Hartsville. Duke Power ranks as the third nuclear utility in the region.

Nuclear power in South Carolina faces delays and cancellations
Aiken Standard reports Duke Power runs three nuclear units at Oconee with two more at Catawba due 1985 and 1987. The Cherokee County project was canceled after 18 percent completion due to cost, totaling about 6 billion dollars. Summer plant adjustments leave one reactor halted while a second was scrapped in design. Nuclear economics and 1970s 80s downturn limit expansion, though plans stress cheaper electricity long term.
