Jefferies Generating Station - Steam 1, 2, 3, 4

By the early 1950s the increasing demand for Santee Cooper power led to the construction of two oil-fired units adjacent to Jefferies Hydro Station on the Tailrace Canal. Though seldom used because of higher fuel costs as compared to coal, these units provide power during extreme demand times for electric power, a role also played by combustion turbines. Units 3 and 4 were added nearly 30 years ago

Power plant was idled in 2012 and demolished in 2017.
