  • Carolinas Energy Planning for the Future Summary Report
    CAROLINAS ENERGY Planning for the Future In December 2014, the South Carolina Energy Office, in collaboration with the North Carolina State Energy Program, Advanced Energy, and UNC Charlotte’s Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC), received a State Energy Program Competitive Award from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to develop a bi- state coordinated vision for energy planning that can help meet state policy goals, support electric reliability, and comply with environmental standards. As part of the two-year project, EPIC led the creation of a working document that examines North Carolina’s and South Carolina’s energy capacities, infrastructure, regulations, emerging technologies, and energy projections. To summarize the main findings from the working document, this condensed version has been written. This summary document is divided into three sections: Baseline, Projections, and Challenges and Opportunities. The Baseline section describes the region and its demographics, energy consumption, and utility landscape. The Projections section summarizes energy resource trends and forecasts from utility providers. The Challenges and Opportunities section covers the energy challenges facing both states along with opportunities for the future. Overall, this document aims to develop bi-state communication around commonalities in energy production and consumption in the Carolinas. The information presented here is only current as of the dates mentioned throughout the report. For the most current information, please visit the websites listed in the resources section. *Photography Credit: Duke Energy Project funded in part by U.S. Department of Energy, Award Number DE-EE0003884-CFDA #81.041 BASELINE Regional Population Energy Consumption BASELINE 3 Population is growing in the Carolinas.
