No $1,000 refunds, but SCE&G customers should see their bills go down ... by a few cents
Dominion Energy told S.C. residents that they could get $1,000 if the Virginia utility was allowed to bail out SC&EG after its failed $9 billion nuclear project. Well, now that it owns SCE&G, Dominion says customers won't be seeing those checks, but their bills will be going down ... by about 75 cents.
One Charleston lawmaker, though, is pushing for the utility to make good on that $1,000 pledge.
Starting with this month's billing cycle, the average SCE&G residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours will see his or her monthly bill drop from $125.34 to $124.91, a difference of 43 cents, according to a press release from Dominion Energy on Monday.
Natural gas customers will get an average bill credit of $1.07 for the year, which will be applied to the February bill. Similar credits for 2020 and 2021 will be applied in January.
