A coal-fired power plant, the Canadys Station Power Plant, was located near Canadys and operated by the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, but was retired in 2013. [4]
The power plant was served by Hampton and Branchville Railroad. With the loss of coal traffic formerly shipped to the power plant, the railroad is now largely dormant.
