- Court Reverses Decision on Water Quality Certification for Duke Hydro Project
- On December 12, 2012, the South Carolina Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing a decision in favor of Duke Energy that South Carolina had waived its right to issue (or deny) water quality certification for the 13 hyrdro-electric stations on the Catawba-Wateree River. This decision is likely to further delay the ultimate decision by FERC on whether to grant a new license to Duke for the project.
