The Keowee-Toxaway Project is a significant hydroelectric project located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina and North Carolina. It involves the construction of two main reservoirs, Lake Keowee and Lake Toxaway, which are used for water supply, recreation, and hydroelectric power generation. The project plays a crucial role in managing water resources and providing renewable energy to the region. Initiated in the 1970s, the Keowee-Toxaway Project was developed by the Duke Energy Corporation. It includes several dams and power plants that harness the flow of the Keowee River and its tributaries. The project not only supports energy needs but also enhances local ecosystems and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.
