Our Story
Dominion Energy and SCANA coming together would bring a brighter energy future for South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.
SCANA and Dominion Energy share proud histories of serving our customers and communities. Together, we would create even greater opportunities for the people who depend on us in those states.
SCANA customers would be joining one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy, one consistently ranked among the most admired in our industry. Having a strong energy partner would help promote economic growth and access to new energy resources.
SCANA electric customers would see dramatic savings following the merger—both in cash payments and lower rates—while natural gas customers can look for continued safe and reliable service.

Customer Benefits
A merger between Dominion Energy and SCANA makes sense because it would benefit all parties, providing certainty and a path forward.
Dominion Energy would provide immediate financial relief for electric customers now paying for the uncompleted new nuclear units. Both a cash payment and lower rates are planned. For communities, it means holding on to a community partner that would have more resources to meet new and changing energy needs. And for SCANA shareholders, including thousands of retirees and working families, it is a fair deal, too.
Customer payments
Each SCE&G electric customer would get a cash payment based on their historical electric usage—worth $1,000 for an average residential customer, with regulatory approval of the merger plan.
Continued Savings
Beyond the one-time cash payment, customers would see a rate reduction of about 5 percent, equal to more than $7 a month for a typical SCE&G residential customer, pending regulatory approval. Additional customer savings are planned to come from the resolution of the nuclear build issues, meaning all customer costs would decline until they disappear in 20 years rather than the currently scheduled 50-to-60 years.
Employee Protection
SCANA employees would have employment protection until 2020. Dominion Energy also would maintain a headquarters for SCE&G in South Carolina, continuing to be an economic driver for the state and region.
Charitable Giving
Investing in our communities is a Dominion Energy core value. Dominion Energy would not only maintain SCANA’s philanthropic efforts, but would increase that charitable giving by an additional $1 million a year for at least five years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: How will the merger impact customers in the short and long term?
This merger includes very significant customer benefits. All electric customers would share in $1.3 billion in cash payments to offset costs related to the withdrawn construction of two new nuclear units that will not be completed because they grew too costly. For an average residential customer, the amount would be $1,000.
Question 2: How will the cash payment be calculated?
Each electric customer of SCE&G will get a cash payment based on the amount of electricity purchased for a 12-month period prior to the merger closing. The cash payment will be about $1,000 for an average residential customer. Cash payments will be paid by check or similar mechanism. They will be sent automatically within 90 days of the merger closing, and customers will not have to apply for them.
All customers also would see an approximate 5 percent rate reduction, driven from refunds of previous customer collections, as well as pass-through of corporate tax reform benefits, equal to more than $7 a month for a typical residential customer.
Dominion Energy will assume nearly $1.7 billion of existing withdrawn nuclear construction assets and will never collect them from customers. The merger will eliminate this cost from customer bills in 20 years, far sooner than the 50-60 that had been planned. And, Dominion Energy will never collect from customers the cost of purchasing a gas-fired power plant that would help replace power that was expected from the nuclear units.
Question 3: Will I have to apply for the cash payment?
No, it will be sent to you automatically. It will be sent within 90 days after closing the merger, pending regulatory approval.
Question 4: What if I was a SCANA Electric & Gas electric customer for part of that time but no longer am a customer? Will I still get a cash payment?
Details of the plan will be provided later
Question 5: Why aren’t PSNC Energy and SCANA Energy gas customers getting a cash payment?
The cash payment is to help cover costs paid for the withdrawn construction of two nuclear units. Only electric customers have paid toward that project, not natural gas customers.
