Share A recent opinion editorial by Mr. Kellar Kissam warned 740,000 Dominion Energy South Carolina customers that they were unfairly subsidizing about 11,000 residents and small businesses that have rooftop solar installations. Kissam, president of electric operations for DESC, is seeking to generate a public outcry against the 1% of DESC solar net-metering customers for allegedly not paying for “maintaining power lines, generation stations and all other associated costs.” Recently the S.C. Public Service Commission, at the direction of the state legislature, began a hearing to examine this potential subsidization, called “cost shift.” The PSC is to approve a new Solar Choice Tariff by June of this year and “eliminate any cost shift to the greatest extent practical.”
