Homes and wiring in Greenville

Mill-village houses are often small with limited circuits and small services, and many have been renovated in stages. New construction brings EV chargers and generator requests.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Greenville summers are hot and humid with frequent thunderstorms, and winter ice storms occasionally bring down trees and lines. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene brought hurricane-force gusts inland and left a large share of Greenville County without power, some homes for more than a week, which sharply increased interest in generators. Duke Energy serves Greenville and much of the Upstate and handles meters, service drops and reconnection; some outlying areas are served by electric cooperatives with their own processes.
