Utility Costs: Santee Cooper approved two rate increases, starting in 2027; residential customers it serves directly will pay an average $6.60 more per month. The utility says the increases will support grid resilience and new capacity. Agribusiness: Amick Farms plans a $54.78 million Edgefield County expansion expected to create 40 jobs. Manufacturing: First Solar opened the first phase of its Gaffney facility, part of a planned 3.4-gigawatt solar module operation. SteelFab also plans a $30 million Richland County investment and 100 jobs, while a Polish auto supplier selected South Carolina for its first U.S. factory. Ports: SC Ports says it is moving into a growth phase after a year of cost-cutting, with Inland Port Greer key to its plans.
