South Carolina Is Untapped Ground for Solar Energy
The state’s largest utility-scale solar installation yet will come online this year. It could spur more projects across the state, but pending legislation puts the future of solar at risk.
A former expanse of timberland in Lambert County, South Carolina, will soon host the state’s largest utility-scale solar project. By the end of 2025, solar developer Silicon Ranch will bring a 200 megawatt solar farm online and add another 50 megawatts the following year.
