Apply NowThe power in South Carolina is a mix of traditional and renewable sources. The state has no natural gas production, so it uses an interstate pipeline from the Gulf Coast. Energy usage has almost doubled in the last decade, so the state is trying a multifaceted approach.
South Carolina has prioritized an initiative to make the statewide energy grid more resilient. It has also invested in renewable systems to increase available energy. A mix of solar, hydropower and biomass accounts for 7% of the total in-state generation. Solar power will expand and increase that percentage within the next few years.
Other options on the table are wind, hydrogen and geothermal power. Natural disasters cause a fair amount of outages. According to a risk review, South Carolina has an unusually high thunderstorm and lightning forecast, occurring once every three days for about four to six months of the year. Severe weather also causes issues, especially ice storms.
Business owners get generators to keep their power running in case of overload or outages during harsh weather, even in remote destinations.
If you are in the market for one of these machines, you may wonder how to find one that fits your budget. This article examines ways to solve any energy crisis.
Businesses that need affordable power solutions buy used equipment as a wise and sustainable alternative to new purchases. Buying used air compressors and power generation equipment is more cost-efficient, and the depreciation curve is also more favorable.
