And their price gouging is passed on to us the Consumers. My prediction is nothing will get done. Our government has become all hat, no cowboy.

An “all of the above” approach would include energy efficiency, but of course there’s no mention of that here (or any renewable generation, for that matter). SC is woefully behind.

Bill has doubled and they are fleecing “Convenience” fees from its customers. It is not a convenience if its the only way to pay the bill. Having a hard cap of any kind on a payment you can make which they claim is 497 dollars and 5 cents. To then charge 2 extra dollars. Then when you pay the rest of your bill you now pay a $2.95 convenience fee. WTH. It is not even consistent!! This is definitely something nefarious.
