Labor Day Spotlight: The Employees Who Keep Us Powered

Posted on September 1, 2025 by John Brush

Labor Day is a time to honor the hard work and dedication of people across the nation. At Santee Cooper, it's a time to recognize the employees who power and hydrate our communities-both at home and in the industries that drive our economy.

Powering Industry, Homes and Communities

Santee Cooper is in the business of powering growth. That means not only delivering reliable electricity and water to families and neighborhoods, but also providing the energy and water resources that fuel industries across our state. None of this would be possible without the people behind the work.

Recognizing Every Part of the Team

Our strength comes from employees across every division:

• Generation crews who keep our power plants running efficiently and safely.
• Transmission and distribution teams who build, maintain and restore the lines that carry energy across South Carolina.
• Water system teams who deliver clean, dependable water.
• All those who support these efforts to make sure our systems run smoothly and our customers stay connected.

Together, these dedicated employees ensure that Santee Cooper can provide safe, reliable and affordable resources-day in and day out.

Always Ready, No Matter the Day

Labor Day also falls during hurricane season, a reminder that reliability doesn't take holidays. Our teams are trained, prepared and ready to respond when severe weather threatens. Whether it's restoring power after a storm or keeping vital infrastructure online, their work makes South Carolina stronger and more resilient.

This Labor Day, we say thank you to every member of the Santee Cooper team who helps provide these critical services to our homes, businesses and industries. Your dedication is the foundation of our mission, and the reason South Carolina continues to grow and thrive.
