A proposed 500-megawatt facility targeting operation in the 2030 to 2031 timeframe, preserving sensitive ecological areas and bringing millions in tax revenue to support the local community.
We aim to bring new reliable energy generation, built on efficient infrastructure, to Kershaw County. The project site is adjacent to Timrod and Boise Cascade roads just outside of the Bethune town limits, chosen because of the existing natural gas pipelines, propane pipelines, and electric transmission lines already on the property.
The Project would help provide tax revenue, jobs, and infrastructure such as road improvements to the residents of Bethune and Kershaw County. We are seeking a mutually beneficial relationship between Bethune Energy, the Town of Bethune, local residents, and the South Carolina utilities.
Plans for the facility are designed to protect sensitive ecological areas on site.
We have put together answers to the questions we hear most often from neighbors and community members, covering the project overview, property impacts, environmental and safety topics, economic impact, and construction.
