GOFER

Give Oil For Energy Recovery (GOFER) is Santee Cooper's statewide used oil collection and recovery program and the state's largest used-oil collection program for do-it-yourselfers.

GOFER's objective is to recover and utilize used oil as an energy source while protecting the environment. The majority of the used oil collected through GOFER is burned as supplemental fuel at Winyah Generating Station, where it is used to make electricity for the people of South Carolina. The used oil displaces coal, providing environmental and performance benefits. Excess used oil that isn’t used to make electricity is recycled.
