www.marketscreener.comI don’t have live access to the latest news in this moment, but I can share the most recent widely reported developments for Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. (DESC) up to mid-2024 and point you to where you can verify or get newer updates.
Core update summary
- DESC filed a comprehensive settlement in its general electric rate case with the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSC) in July 2024. The settlement proposed a modest net rate impact for residential customers (about a 1% increase versus the original March request when considering offsetting factors) and outlined customer benefits such as a one-time bill credit and expanded energy efficiency funding. This filing represents DESC’s effort to align investments in reliability and clean energy with rate stability for customers [source: press release about the settlement in DESC’s 2024 rate case, 2024-07-12].[1]
- The same 2024 activity noted DESC had added thousands of customers since 2019 and invested heavily in the electric system to support reliability and grid security, with the PSC hearing scheduled to begin mid-July 2024 for final decision-making.[1]
- DESC has historically highlighted responses to major weather events in the state, including large-scale outage restoration efforts tied to hurricanes, underscoring its ongoing workforce and contractor deployments to restore power and rebuild after storms.[3]
