Central Electric Cooperative’s Energy Resource Mix: 2019

Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (Central) is a wholesale electric generation and transmission cooperative (G&T) headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. Central is owned by the 20 independent, consumer‐owned South Carolina distribution electric cooperatives.

  • Hydro: 3%
  • Nuclear: 19%
  • Coal: 41%
  • Natural Gas: 23%
  • Purchases: 11%
  • Renewable/Non-carbon: 3%

The graphic below illustrates the energy mix that Central supplied in 2019.

Together, we’re lowering carbon dioxide emissions

Electric cooperatives show a decline in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released to generate the electricity they provide to 1.5 million South Carolinians.

Between 2005 and 2020, their CO2 emissions dropped by 41%, far surpassing the national 17% reduction target used by the United States. A new report from Central Electric Power Cooperative—the wholesale power buyer for the state’s 20 independent, member-owned utilities including York Electric Cooperative —also projects that by 2027, emissions will fall by 47% from 2005 levels.

Estimated Carbon Dioxide Emissions by Central Electric Power Cooperative

Cooperatives are achieving this result by 1) adopting new technologies that do not rely on burning fossil fuels to produce electricity, 2) urging their power suppliers to close older, coal-burning power plants and 3) making agreements with power suppliers whose generating portfolios have lower emissions.

Burning fossil fuels such as coal to make electricity releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Reducing these emissions plays a key role in protecting our environment. By 2027, electric cooperatives in South Carolina could see at least a 47% reduction in CO2.
