Dominion Energy South Carolina is seeking state regulatory approval for an 11% electric rate increase, which could raise average customer bills by $20 per month. This proposal comes less than a year after a previous rate hike, prompting concerns from residents like Krystal Spahr, a mother of six, who struggles to afford her current power bills. The Public Service Commission will review the request and hold public hearings before making a final decision.
