NOTICE FOR NEWSPAPER Notice of Filing and Public Hearing Docket/Case Number and Name: 2027-2-E - Annual Review of Base Rates for Fuel Costs for Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. (For Potential Increase or Decrease in Fuel Adjustment or Fuel Costs) Why is this Notice important, what are fuel costs, and what is the purpose of this proceeding? The Public Service Commission of South Carolina ("Commission") has scheduled a public hearing. The Commission decides what rates a utility can charge. This Notice is for electric customers of Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. ("Company" or "DESC") and interested persons. Fuel costs, according to the law, include, in part, the cost of fuel, the cost of fuel transportation, and the fuel costs related to the power that electric utilities purchase from other businesses to provide electricity to its customers. The law states, in part, "Upon conducting public hearings in accordance with law, the Commission shall direct each company to place in effect its base rate an amount designed to recover, during the succeeding twelve months, the fuel costs determined by the Commission to be appropriate for that period, adjusted for the over-recovery or under-recovery from the preceding twelve-month period." S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-27-865(B). Also, in this case the Commission will determine whether an increase or decrease should be granted in the fuel cost component designed to recover the additional (or incremental) or avoided costs paid (or incurred) by the Company to operate (or to implement) the distributed energy resource program previously approved by the Commission. S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-39-140. On August 19, 2021, in Order No. 2021-569, the Commission stated, "S.C. Code Ann. Section 58- 40-20(E) requires the value of energy produced by customer-generators to be updated annually, and the annual fuel proceedings is the logical proceeding to conduct that update." The Commission will review the fuel purchasing practices of Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. during this case and determine whether any adjustment in the fuel cost recovery mechanism is necessary and reasonable and is required by law. S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-27-865 The case was filed according to S.C. Code Ann. Section 58-27-865; and this hearing has been scheduled according to S.C. Code Ann. Sections 58-27-865 and 58-39-140 and S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 103-817. A public hearing has been scheduled in this case to begin on Monday, March 29, 2027, at 10:00 a.m., at the Public Service Commission, Hearing Room, 101 Executive Center Drive, Columbia, SC 29210.
