St Stephen: FAQ

Where is St Stephen?
In Berkeley County, South Carolina (SC). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is St Stephen?
84 MW of nameplate capacity across 3 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns St Stephen?
EIA-860M names US Army Corps of Engineers as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as St Stephen LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — US Army Corps of Engineers here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "St Stephen LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is St Stephen still running?
EIA-860M files it as "Operating" for 2026-07. Statuses change monthly, and this page follows the monthly release.
