CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A South Carolina power grid expert has given the state a âCâ in preparedness for winter weather just a week after historic cold temperatures and snow knocked out power to millions in Texas.
Dr. Johan Enslin is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Clemson Universityâs North Charleston campus.
âItâs definitely not an A. I think weâd get a C,â Enslin said. âOur generation is primarily nuclear based, so itâs one source of generation, which is good. But, itâs one source. Most of our other sources are imported from our neighboring utilities.â
