Dear Customer,

Thank you for your request for additional information regarding how your electric accounts would benefit from the proposed Dominion/SCANA merger. Here are the estimated amounts that you would receive plus the annual savings from the proposed 5% rate reduction.  The estimated cash refund is only an estimate based upon your 2016 usage and based upon certain understandings pertaining to a merger that must still be approved. The estimated 5% annual bill reduction is based on same understandings but is based the most current 12-month billing history. Thus, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, and you should not take any actions in reliance upon them.

                                    Estimated                       Estimated Annual
Account #                    Cash Refund                   Bill Reduction



Cash payments proposed to SCE&G electric customers are to be paid via check or equivalent payment mechanism within 90 days after the closing of the merger, subject to approval of the Public Service Commission of South Carolina. Further details of the program will be announced later. The 5% rate reduction would occur as soon as the PSCSC approves it.

This merger is not a done deal, it will require approval from various financial and regulatory agencies.

We believe that this merger and its benefits to customers is the best course of action for our customers. It puts immediate cash back in your business, reduces your rates going forward, freezes our rates for 3 years and provides new electric generation for growth while creating a stronger utility that can meet your growth needs, respond promptly to emergencies and support our community.

If you support what has been proposed, please contact your governmental affairs department or reach out to your elected officials to let them know of your support. Since economic health and growth of our industrial customers is critical to the success of South Carolina’s economy, we believe that the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff and your elected officials in the Statehouse want to hear from you on this critical decision.

If you have any questions, please call give me a call.

Your Account Manager
