SCE&G
Show Your Concern about SCE&G rate hikes
Attend Sept. 10th meeting in West Columbia
South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce exec Frank Knapp will make a short presentation on SCE&G rate hikes at the Lexington County Legislative Delegation Meeting on Thursday, Sept. 10th. The meeting starts at 6PM and Mr. Knapp is slated to speak at about 6:25PM. The public meeting is being held at the Midlands Technical College/Airport Campus in the Academic Building Conference Room.
Mr. Knapp will share his organization’s concern about SCE&G raising electricity rates by 31% since 2008 with most of the increase due to annual rate hikes to pay for the financing of two new nuclear plants that will not be operational until 2019 at the earliest. Mr. Knapp will ask for an independent evaluation of the law that allows for these rate increases and recommend that the Legislature provide financial relief for ratepayers.
Small business owners and residential SCE&G customers are encouraged to attend this meeting to show their concern about rate increases and support for legislators to take action
