Former SC attorney general to become next chairman of Santee Cooper

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed former state Attorney General Charlie Condon as the next chairman of Santee Cooper, which is known legally as South Carolina Public Service Authority.

Condon will fill the position left vacant by Leighton Lord in December 2017. McMaster called for Lord's resignation following the fallout from the abandonment of the V.C. Summer nuclear expansion project.

The governor plans to appoint Condon to the full, seven-year term after the current term expires in May. "I'm confident that Mr. Condon's leadership will usher in a new era of accountability at Santee Cooper that South Carolinians deserve," McMaster said in a statement.

The appointment is subject to the approval of the Public Utilities Review Committee as well as the full Senate confirmation.
