SCE&G Rate Cut Slashes 86 Million Hike For Now
The South Carolina Public Service Commission trimmed SCE&G's $86.2 million proposed rate increase to $34.2 million for 360 000 electric customers. The order cuts monthly bills about 6.5 dollars on average and refunds 52 million to customers. The ruling allows a 13.2 percent return on equity, down from 16.5 percent requested, and excludes certain expenses from rate base. It also signals possible future rate requests tied to the VC Summer nuclear project and new plant expenses.
