Dear Neighbor,
Good partnerships matter. A partnership between Dominion Energy and SCANA isn’t just a path forward for SCE&G customers, it would mean certainty, in what’s been a very uncertain time. Plus it means a strong, reliable energy partner for South Carolina.
However, if the politicians in Columbia give in to those who oppose this partnership, SCE&G electric customers won’t see guaranteed cash payments and rate reductions.
ACT NOW: Don’t let politicians in Columbia stand in the way of a brighter future for South Carolina.
It’s important that your representatives hear from YOU to understand the value of Dominion Energy and SCANA coming together.
Two taps, it’s that easy. Please email your elected officials today.
SCANA and Dominion Energy coming together would mean:
| • | A $1.3 billion cash payment – about $1,000 for the average residential electric customer. |
| • | Lower electrical rates – a minimum of 5 percent rate reduction for electric customers. |
| • | Save customers more than $10 billion by initiating a shorter recovery period for nuclear abandonment costs, reduced from 50 years to 20 years – a 60 percent reduction. |
| • | A million dollars a year more in charitable contributions in the communities we serve, for five years. As a customer and community member, it is critical that elected officials hear from you as they consider this proposal. |
Support a brighter energy future for South Carolina by contacting your elected officials today.
