Duke Energy seeks to extend operations for another 50 years at Bad Creek, supporting unprecedented growth in the Carolinas
For more than three decades, the pumped storage hydro station in South Carolina has performed a vital role as the largest "battery" on the company's system Effort supports the intent of South Carolina leaders to address growth by continuing to operate proven electricity capacity in the state GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Duke Energy has announced its submission of the final license application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Bad Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Station, located near Salem, S.C. The application, if approved, would extend the plant's operations for an additional 50 years. A flexible, dynamic, efficient and emission-free way to store and deliver large quantities of energy, pumped storage hydro plants store and generate energy by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Located in Oconee County, S.C., Bad Creek is designed to produce significant amounts of energy when our customers need it most, performing a vital role as the largest "battery" on the company's system since 1991. Why it matters: As part of the company's responsibility to serve nearly 860,000 retail electric customers across South Carolina, Duke Energy needs to not only build large amounts of new generation but also extend the lives of those proven workhorse facilities like Bad Creek and the company's existing nuclear fleet to support the economic success and growth the state is experiencing. Duke Energy recently completed upgrades to the four units at the Bad Creek pumped storage facility in Salem, S.C. The upgrades add a total of 320 megawatts of carbon-free energy to the company's system, increasing the total capacity of the station to 1,680 megawatts. This commitment to relicense the Bad Creek facility reflects the investments the company is making to maintain and enhance our generating fleet and serve a growing customer base. Next steps: The current operating license for the project expires in July 2027 and Duke Energy consulted with more than 70 stakeholders to propose a new license that would run for another 50 years. Duke Energy expects a decision on our operating license application from FERC in 2027, before the original license expires. More info: Downloadable b-roll of Bad Creek is available for use.

Sheri Biggs: "Bad Creek is a cornerstone of South Carolina's energy infrastructure and a testament to the kind of smart, long-term investment our state needs. I'm proud to support Duke Energy's efforts to extend operations at this critical facility. This project will help power our communities, support economic growth, and ensure a reliable, affordable energy future for families and businesses across the Upstate." Duke Energy South Carolina President Tim Pearson: "Extending the life of this 'marvel in the mountain' has been a significant part of our planning for the future for many years. Our commitment to keep a proven asset like Bad Creek online for decades to come while also bringing a diverse portfolio of new generating resources to the grid reflects the direction our state's leaders have made clear is the right path forward to support a reliable, affordable and resilient energy future for South Carolina."

Lake Lynn Generation: FERC's approval of its drought response supports dismissal of Marina 1 lawsuit
dbeard@ MORGANTOWN – On July 31, The Dominion Post reported that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission told Lake Lynn Generation that it did not violate its hydroelectric project license when it responded to low dissolved oxygen levels during the summer 2024 drought. We noted in the report the potential connection of FERC's letter to Lake Lynn with an ongoing federal lawsuit, where whether Lake Lynn had violated its license requirements was a question raised in the case. Now Lake Lynn has made the connection, and is using the letter as evidence in its defense against the suit. 'Because FERC has found that Lake Lynn did not violate its project license,' in its newest filing in the suit, 'Plaintiff has no ability to argue that Lake Lynn deviated from the standard of care in this case and, therefore, Plaintiff's Amended Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.' In the suit filed suit Sept. 30, 2024, Marina 1 LLC, a Biafora family company doing business as Cheat Lake Marina, alleges that before the Labor Day weekend, Lake Lynn deliberately lowered the level of Cheat Lake below the 868-foot minimum in violation of its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license. This caused various damages, some of them irreparable. Marina 1 is seeking $50,000 compensation for property damages. Both sides are awaiting a decision from Judge Thomas Kleeh in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia in Clarksburg: whether the case might be dismissed; or remanded back to Monongalia County Circuit Court, where it began, and continued there; or neither and simply continue in federal court. Marina 1 contends that while Lake Lynn violated its FERC license, the issue of damages at question is a state tort law claim, and it wants the case sent back to county circuit court where it originated. Lake Lynn counters that its FERC license, not state law, sets the standards of care for the operation of its license. 'FERC must be given the opportunity to assess if Lake Lynn's license was violated in the first place. … Plaintiff's claims must be dismissed to seek relief in FERC's administrative proceedings, and, if necessary, before the Fourth Circuit [Court of Appeals].' In its newest filing in the case, Lake Lynn uses the July 30 FERC letter to support its contention. 'FERC's letter is demonstrative that Plaintiff's Amended Complaint is a collateral attack on Lake Lynn's project license,' it says. As we've reported before, in September 2024, the effects of the ongoing drought were apparent around Cheat Lake. Marinas were largely empty. Boats were stranded on mud flats. Related in part to the low lake levels, vast swaths of hydrilla covered portions of the lake surface. And the drought put Lake Lynn in a trilemma – having to choose between three competing FERC license requirements: maintain the summer level of 868-870 feet; maintain a flow rate of 212 cubic feet per second (cfs) into the Cheat River, with an absolute minimum of 100 cfs; and maintain dissolved oxygen at 5 milligrams per liter for the aquatic life. FERC told Lake Lynn in its July letter to the company that it acted correctly in its efforts to maintain the required dissolved oxygen levels.
