South Carolina S0878 amends the state code to define terms related to third-party electric choice, allowing eligible customers to purchase electricity from third-party suppliers. The bill mandates that incumbent electric suppliers cooperate with third-party suppliers, provide reasonable transmission terms, and not be liable for third-party supply costs. It requires eligible customers to arrange for firm transmission service and be responsible for their energy needs.
