EMAIL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES
Dominion Energy, as part of its proposal to combine with SCE&G and its corporate parent, SCANA, has committed to a $1.3 billion cash payment to SCE&G’s electric customers to offset costs related to the construction of two new nuclear units that will not be completed. Within 90 days of the merger closing, the average residential electric customer will receive a payment of approximately $1,000. The exact amount will be based on how much electricity the customer used during the previous 12 months.
Dominion will work with the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to determine a fair and equitable process for payments to prior customers. We may not have answers for every question customers are asking at this time, but we will provide additional details at a later date.
