Forestry in South Carolina and the southeast of the US is a well-developed industry, supporting a strong base of jobs in the production and transportation of wood products. On almost any highway in South Carolina you will pass trucks of woodchips or timber. The renewable energy plants in Dorchester and Allendale counties are relatively small-sized plants, which minimise impacts on the existing forest products markets and draw wood residues for fuel at a sustainable level. Demonstrating the viability of these plants gives Santee Cooper options for the future.
