    Dominion Energy South Carolina applied for a new license for the Stevens Creek Hydroelectric Project. Some groups, like Augusta-Richmond County, wanted more studies on the project, but the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff said no further studies were needed. Augusta-Richmond County requested a rehearing on this decision, but the request was dismissed because the staff's response was not a final decision. Once a final order is made about the license, they can ask for a rehearing if needed.

    Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. (DESC) has applied for a non-capacity amendment to the Neal Shoals Hydroelectric Project located on the Broad River in South Carolina. The proposal involves replacing existing turbines with new submersible units and constructing a new substation to increase the project's generating capacity. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) plans to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) by July 18, 2025, to evaluate the impacts of these changes. Public comments will be accepted once the EA is issued, and the Commission's Office of Public Participation is available to assist the public with engagement and inquiries.
