Duke Energy's SC lakes plan in gets public airing

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Duke Energy is airing the deals the country's largest electric company has made with local groups to gain South Carolina support for a new dams operating license

The Greenville News reports (http://grnol.co/16NK0H8 ) that Duke Energy is sharing details of its agreements as the utility seeks to extend its license to operate the dams on lakes Keowee (KEE-ah-wee) and Jocassee (jo-CASS-ee) for up to 50 more years. The current operating license expires in 2016.

The draft agreement is subject to change after a public open house Wednesday at Clemson University's Madren Center.

The deals include forests preservation and lays out who gets to take how much water and under what circumstances. Oconee Nuclear Station on Lake Keowee will be modified to operate on lower lake levels during droughts.
