Santee Cooper, a utility provider based in South Carolina, is poised to reignite the construction of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Power Station. The station's two reactors were shelved eight years ago due to budgetary excesses that ultimately drove Westinghouse Electric Company into bankruptcy. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Santee Cooper aims to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for power in data centers, seeking partners to finance and finalize the nuclear power station's construction.
