Power transmission lines are suspended from electricity pylons.
(Bloomberg) A South Carolina lawmaker has threatened to block any efforts by NextEra Energy Inc. to buy state-owned utility Santee Cooper unless the clean-energy giant turns over lobbying and other information.
âWithout answers, Iâll do everything I can to ensure that Santee Cooper is not sold to NextEra,â said state Senator Richard A. Harpootlian, a Democrat who sits on a subcommittee charged with reviewing a potential sale.
The Republican-controlled state legislature, which last year rejected NextEraâs bid to acquire Santee Cooper, may reopen the bidding process this year. In the meantime, lawmakers have asked NextEra to turn over communication between its employees, lobbyists and lawmakers and government officials, as well as any payments or campaign contributions made to lawmakers, according to the Associated Press.
