Terms Used In South Carolina Code 6-23-100

  • Electric supplier: means an electric utility regulated by the Public Service Commission, electric cooperative, or municipal electric system authorized to do business within the State or the Public Service Authority. See South Carolina Code 6-23-20
  • Joint agency: means a public body and body corporate and politic organized pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. See South Carolina Code 6-23-20
  • Project: means a system or facilities for the generation, transmission, and transformation, not distribution, of electric power and energy by any means including, but not limited to, any one or more electric generating units situated at a particular site or any interest in any of them or any right to the output, capacity, use, or services of it. See South Carolina Code 6-23-20
  • State: means the State of South Carolina. See South Carolina Code 6-23-20
Because of pooling and reserve-sharing agreements between electric suppliers, public and private electric utilities and electric cooperatives, the General Assembly determines that electric generating facilities within the State are interrelated; therefore, it is necessary that the electric supplier generally serving the area in which the members of the joint agency are located be responsible for the dispatching of capacity and output and the scheduling of maintenance of a project owned by a joint agency in keeping with established utility practice, subject to contracts entered into for such capacity and output.
