College student from Lexington County spotlighted by Dominion Energy

Posted

University of South Carolina third-year student and Lexington County resident Chloe Quinton was spotlighted by Dominion Energy for her work as their summer intern.

Some of her projects include “assisting with a plan to determine the maximum amount of electricity that can flow through power lines based on weather conditions. She also worked on enhanced data collection protocols and computer-based training for new system control employees,” according to the press release.

Quinton, who is a mechanical engineering major, said it was exciting getting hands-on experience.

“It’s exciting getting to see everything I’m learning in school executed on a daily basis here at the company,” Quinton said in the press release. “Learning how to forecast how much energy customers will need and understanding the needs of our community has helped me develop a deeper appreciation of the hard work it takes to keep the power running every day.”

Because of her strong performance this summer, Quinton has been offered a position during the school year.

“She works like a full-time employee and has been a tremendous help since becoming a part of our team,” John Wiggins, a power supply reliability specialist with Dominion Energy South Carolina, said in the press release. “We’re excited to watch her develop her skills and see what she’ll bring to the team this upcoming year.”
