Back in 2001, Santee Cooper was the first electric utility in the state to generate and offer Green Power. Now, we are taking it a step further by offering the opportunity to turn your events green.
Green Power is electricity generated from renewable resources, like solar and methane gas from decomposing garbage. Santee Cooper's Green Power Program can help reduce the reliance on limited resources while improving and preserving the environment for future generations. The best part: 100% of the funding goes towards future renewable energy resources. Think of it as an investment in the future.
Purchasing one-time Event Green Power is easy and affordable. Green Power is sold in blocks of 200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) at $6.00 per block. A minimum 5 block purchase is required. With choosing to host a Green Event, depending on it’s scale, Santee Cooper will assist you with marketing needs. Below are a few of the ways we can help:
- Newspaper Advertising

- Press Releases
- Radio Advertising
- Bill Stuffers

- Social Media Outreach
And here's how your event can become 100% Green:
