SCE&G President Attributes Higher Rates to Small Size
SCE&G President Arthur Williams testified at PSC hearings that the utility’s smaller size drives higher rates compared to Duke Power and CP&L, due to less economies of scale. He noted potential future bond sales, possible rate hikes for residential and industrial customers, and challenged the link between conservation ads and bill amounts. Williams also warned of potential electricity allocation and tax relief questions for lower income customers.
