SRS Pact Approved by S C Public Service Commission
The South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. won PSC approval to supply additional electricity to the Savannah River Site, with SCE&G taking over the D-Area powerhouse on Oct 1. The $30 million annual deal makes SCE&G the sole electric supplier to SRS, delivering up to 80 megawatts, while steam sales remain unregulated per current PSC reading. Revenue from steam would depend on SRS usage, with DOE paying up to $9.5 million yearly for steam. The PSC left open whether steam sales require a certificate, noting the decision covered electricity provision only.
