COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The South Carolina House is insisting the state continue to accept offers to sell Santee Cooper, meaning the fate of a bill to overhaul the state-owned utility will go down to the wire at this year’s session.
The House refused to accept changes the Senate made last month to a bill the House passed back in January .
The House mostly agreed with the Senate, which gets rid of by 2023 the nine members of the current 10-person Santee Cooper board who were serving before 2017 when the utility was the minority partner in building two nuclear reactors which were abandoned before generating power, losing billions of dollars.
