2025 Annual Report Video

At Central, success starts with one principle: when unified cooperatives cooperate, we’re able to achieve more together. Since our founding, our role has been focused on serving our member cooperatives so they can better serve their communities across South Carolina.

After a strong year of serving our members and delivering on our commitments to the cooperative network, Central Electric Power Cooperative is proud to share highlights from 2025 in our first-ever Annual Report video.

These accomplishments reflect the commitment and collaboration driving our work every day. Watch the full video below.

Focused on What Matters Most 

Central’s success is measured by the value we deliver to our members. That focus is grounded in four key pillars:

1. Competitive Rates
2. Reliable Power
3. High-Quality Work Product
4. Member Directed

These priorities guide every decision we make, from long-term planning to day-to-day operations. 

Investing in Growth and Reliability 

South Carolina continues to grow at a rapid pace, and Central is working to ensure the power system keeps up. In 2025, that meant a continued focus on securing and delivering reliable power generation resources while managing costs for our members.

We worked closely with our power supply partners and continued investments in key generation assets, including: 

• Catawba Nuclear Station
• Anderson Combined Cycle Plant
• Canadys Station project

At the same time, Central completed 11 transmission projects to support population growth and increased industrial demand across the state.

Delivering Strong System Performance 

System reliability in 2025 reached one of the strongest levels in recent years. That performance reflects careful planning, disciplined operations, and the dedication of our team. 

Reliable power doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of long-term investment coordination with our member cooperatives, and a constant focus on our system performance. 

Power by People

Behind every milestone is the Central team. Their continued commitment to collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement drives everything we do. From engineering and operations to power supply and member services, our team works every day to support our members and strengthen the cooperative network across South Carolina. 

Looking Ahead

The energy landscape is evolving, and so are the needs of our members. Central remains focused on improving system efficiency, strengthening infrastructure, and planning for the future.

The progress made in 2025 has positioned us well for what’s ahead.

We’re building today for the power needs of tomorrow: responsibly, collaboratively, and with our members at the center.

Here’s to a brighter, smarter South Carolina in 2026.
