Sandy Run Solar

Supporting the Local Community

RWE is committed to being a long-term partner to Berkeley County by listening to local feedback, working collaboratively with community leaders, and maintaining open, transparent communication throughout the life of the Sandy Run Solar project. Community input has already resulted in a redesigned project with a significantly smaller footprint, preserving more natural land while reducing visual and land-use impacts. In addition to delivering reliable energy, RWE is investing in the community through charitable giving, workforce development initiatives, and partnerships with local organizations that will provide lasting local benefits.

Stimulating the Local Economy

Berkeley County's priorities emphasize responsible growth that strengthens the local economy while preserving the community's rural character and natural resources. Sandy Run Solar supports those priorities by attracting private investment, creating opportunities for local businesses, and helping meet the region's growing energy needs through responsible development. The project has been thoughtfully designed to preserve green space, minimize impacts, and deliver lasting benefits for Berkeley County residents.

Meeting Increased Energy Demand

Berkeley County and South Carolina continue to experience growing demand for electricity driven by population growth, expanding industries, and new economic development. Sandy Run Solar will help provide reliable, locally generated electricity to support homes, businesses, and future investment while strengthening the region's energy infrastructure. By adding new energy generation close to where it is needed, the project will help meet the state's growing energy needs and support continued economic growth.
