About Us

Founded in 1912, Lockhart Power Company is an investor-owned electric utility located in the Upstate of South Carolina. We provide cost-effective and reliable electric power generation, transmission, distribution and lighting services to a range of residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers. Our service area spans portions of five South Carolina counties: Spartanburg, Union, Cherokee, Chester and York.

We began generating renewable hydroelectric power in 1920, and nearly 100% of Lockhart Power’s current electric generation is derived from renewable resources, including hydroelectric and landfill gas generated power. Recently, we have dramatically expanded, and continue to expand, our number of renewable energy generating plants, demonstrating our continuing commitment to sustainability.
