Jefferies Hydroelectric Station
Located in Moncks Corner, SC, the Jefferies Hydroelectric Station, formerly known as the Pinopolis Power Plant, has stood as a cornerstone of electricity generation for over eight decades. Since its inaugural electricity generation on Feb. 17, 1942, this station has played a vital role in supplying the people of South Carolina with clean and renewable energy.
One of the remarkable features of Jefferies Hydro is its rapid response capability, with the hydro units able to come online in a mere five minutes. This quick activation makes it a crucial source of reserve power, especially in facilitating the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. Named in honor of Richard M. Jefferies, a former South Carolina governor and Santee Cooper’s General Manager, Jefferies Hydro remains a testament to sustainable and cost-effective energy production even after eight decades of operation.
