​Edisto Pipeline

Kinder Morgan wants to build a gas pipeline that starts in Georgia, crosses the Savannah River, and runs through Hampton and Colleton Counties to the Edisto Gas Plant near Walterboro. This pipeline would cause habitat destruction in the ACE Basin, as well as permanently impact private property and community health along the route. Kinder Morgan must get approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to proceed. Currently, they are contacting landowners along the route. If you're a landowner along the pipeline route, use the link above to stay informed!

A massive new gas pipeline is coming to the South Carolina Lowcountry.

We'll be paying the price.

Pipeline Route

This is the current pipeline route proposed by Kinder Morgan. It will likely change over time.

Regulators Ignore Community Concerns on Edisto Gas Plant and Pipeline

In March and April 2026, regulators at the Public Service Commission (PSC) held public hearings on Dominion Energy and Santee Cooper’s proposed gas plant, located in the ACE Basin on the banks of the Edisto River. Community members showed up in force, criticizing the proposal for its impacts on South Carolina’s clean air, natural lands, and electric bills. Despite strong opposition to the plant, when regulators had the chance to ask Dominion and Santee Cooper questions, they waved away community concerns over these issues. 

Customers in public hearings repeatedly raised concerns over the high cost of the Edisto gas power plant, fearing that costs would fall on everyday South Carolinians, when large customers like data centers are driving the increase in demand.
