Rate Hike Sought by SCE&G in Two-Phase Proposal
Bruce D. Kenyon of South Carolina Electric Gas outlines a two-phase general rate increase request to the South Carolina Public Service Commission. The plan calls for an initial 8.9 percent rise in June 1998 and a second increase in June 1999 to fund nearly $3 billion in capital over the next decade to expand facilities, meet demand, and comply with the Clean Air Act. Residential customers would pay about the same in 1994 as in 1984 if approved.
