Item 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On September 26, 2017, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS) filed a Request for Rate Relief (Request) with the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (Commission), asking for an order from the Commission directing South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) to immediately suspend all revised rates collections from customers which were previously approved by the Commission pursuant to the authority of the Base Load Review Act (BLRA). In the Request, ORS relies upon an opinion published by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office on September 26, 2017 that “as applied, portions of the BLRA are constitutionally suspect.” Based on ORS’ review of the Attorney General’s Office’s opinion, ORS asserts it is not just and reasonable or in the public interest to allow SCE&G to continue collecting revised rates. In the Request, ORS further alleges that SCE&G failed to disclose information that should have been disclosed and that would have appeared to provide a basis for challenging prior requests, and alleges SCE&G should not be allowed to continue to benefit from nondisclosure. The Request also asks for an order that, if the BLRA is found to be unconstitutional or the General Assembly amends or revokes the BLRA, then SCE&G should make credits to future bills or refunds to customers for prior revised rates collections. SCE&G intends to vigorously contest the Request. No assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of this matter.
