CPP owns Kings Mountain Energy Center (KMEC), a 475-megawatt combined cycle facility located in Kings Mountain, N.C., that provides reliable, environmentally-friendly power to the Carolinas. Currently, the CPP-CAMS team was involved in two initiatives to help CPP customers in Winterville, N.C.

This information was available through a “Guide to Your Winter Electricity Bill” publication that was posted to the Town of Winterville website. The guide also provides an overview of the KMEC, which produces most of the power CPP supplies to local towns, cites and universities in North and South Carolina.

For the second initiative, CAMS organized a partnership with the Town of Winterville, Greene Lamp (a local Community Action Agency), and CPP to provide lower income families financial assistance to reduce their monthly electricity bills throughout  a 12-month period.

No safety or environmental issues were reported at the facilities and thankfully, all employees were safe with little to no damage to their personal properties. “In the wake of Hurricane Ian, our teams at the Florida facilities worked hard to repair minor damages and restore normal operations while continuing to provide much-needed power to their communities,” said Bryan Stout, Vice President of CAMS Operations and Maintenance. “It is important for CAMS to continually evaluate our operational methods to promote safe and reliable business practices, especially during emergencies.”

Throughout Hurricane Ian, two CAMS-operated facilities remained online and operated safely with constant monitoring from CAMS personnel. All plant units operated with no issues reported.
