The Public Service Commission made several decisions today including SCE&G Rates, the Dominion Energy merger, and refunds. Ratepayers are angry that $9 billion dollars went into this project to begin with, they have spent 2 billion since construction ended, and now ratepayers will not be getting a $1,000 dollar refund check from Dominion Energy as they promised.
The Public Service Commission voted to reduce rates by 9.9% but took the $1,000 dollar refund check the average ratepayer was promised from Dominion off the table. Instead, Dominion Energy’s spokesperson said people will be receiving paybacks in the form of their rates.
