COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - On Tuesday, lawmakers discussed South Carolinaâs electric grid and its ability to withstand winter storms like the one that left millions in Texas without power. It comes in the wake of Governor Henry McMaster directing the Office of Regulatory Staff to review the stateâs public and private power grid.
The Office of Regulatory Staff said they hope to have a draft of its review to the State Regulation of Public Utilities Review Committee by September, and their final report to them by the end of the year.
