Aiken Electric loan eyed for SRRC hydrogen lab
Aiken County considers a 380000 loan at possibly 2 percent from Aiken Electric Cooperative to partly fund the Savannah River Research Campus hydrogen laboratory near the Savannah River National Laboratory. The project, leased by the Department of Energy, aims to develop new hydrogen storage methods for automotive use with industry and academic partners. The loan covers about 4 percent of the total cost, with bonds likely to finance the rest. County administrator Clay Killian notes debt capacity and bond relief potential while coop officials stress the loan aligns with their mission to improve quality of life and support development projects funded by a USDA grant. Barry Glover and Fred Humes speak on cooperation and industry interest.
