Abstract:

Approximately half of the electricity distributed by North Carolina’s electric cooperatives comes from carbon-free nuclear power sources. In 1981, North Carolina’s electric cooperatives became a part owner of Catawba Nuclear Station in York County, South Carolina. Since then, the Catawba generating station has been considered one of the nation’s most efficient plants.
