"A group of large energy users argued Tuesday before the S.C. Supreme Court that SCE&G is overcharging customers by building in a contingency fund for construction of two new nuclear plants in Fairfield County.
Scott Elliott, representing the S.C. Energy Users group of large industrial customers, said the utility is required by law to ask the Public Service Commission for approval of any overages for the $9.8 billion project.
