A Line Rebuild Project in Beaufort County, SC
To continue to meet the growing demand for safe and reliable energy across Beaufort County, we will connect the Burnt Church Road Substation to a Santee Cooper operated facility on Bluffton Parkway. Once completed, this system enhancement will serve to reduce the duration of power outages in the area caused by severe weather or other events.
This approximately 17.7-mile overhead electric transmission line was originally constructed on wooden H-frame and steel lattice structures. We are rebuilding the entire 115 kV line and parts of the double-circuit 230 kV line in the existing easement using structures similar in appearance and height. All replacement structures will be constructed of brown, weathering steel; new single-circuit structures will be H-frames, and new double-circuit structures will be monopoles. No new right of way is needed.
Restoration activities will occur into 2026 after construction ends. We are planning to rebuild a neighboring 230 kV single-circuit electric transmission line between Hornertown Substation and Hathaway Substation in 2025-2026 and will update neighbors as we prepare for project construction.
