Santee Cooper plans approved with little pushback. The PSC ignored public input on Santee Cooper’s long-term plans and failed to hold power companies accountable on coal plant retirement delays, restrictions on clean energy, and major fossil fuel buildouts [1].

​

Statewide rate hike settlements. The PSC held multiple public hearings on rate hikes from Duke Energy Carolinas [2] and Dominion Energy [3]. It also scrutinized rate hike plans and approved settlement agreements that improved power company programs and lowered authorized profits [4]. 

 

Duke Energy long-term plans. The PSC approved a long-term plan for Duke Energy that avoided major delays in coal plant retirements, added meaningful amounts of renewable energy, and required recommendations from environmental groups on energy efficiency, transmission, and customer-sited generation [5].
