Central Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. is a generation and transmission electric cooperative based in Columbia, South Carolina. It provides wholesale power to South Carolina's 19 distribution cooperatives, whose combined membership totals roughly two million consumer-members. The cooperative primarily procures electricity under long-term power supply contracts and also designs, builds, and maintains transmission lines across the state.

Operating in the utilities sector, it functions as a mid-sized regional provider coordinating generation, transmission, and wholesale service for rural and suburban distribution networks. In recent years it has launched pilot programs to explore how emerging technologies, flexible resources, and rate structures can work together to benefit members and the wider system. In 2025 it expanded facilities in Orangeburg County in partnership with Silicon Ranch to develop a 100 MW solar facility, illustrating efforts to expand renewable generation capacity and strengthen grid infrastructure.
