The treatment of SC consumers by SCE&G in combination with our State Utilities was also far less than honorable. Consumers were forced to pay "up front" for the building of a nuclear power plant that never materialized. A surcharge of about 15% was added to our bills for years. The design and buildout of the power plant was technically unworkable, those executives knew it and kept it a secret for as long as they could . Our ineffective State Utilities group either covered for them or were too dumb to ever figure out that the power plant that we had all been paying for would never come on line. The executives gave themselves big fat bonuses and beat feet out of state just before it all collapsed.
Now we have Dominion Energy from Virginia and they are promising to get it right, Initially, all the consumers were told that we would get $1000 back as part of a settlement. A few weeks ago I cashed my check for $28.
And nobody went to jail! Are there any honorable utilities left in this country? Are there any competent state utilities commissions left?
