Complete·3/19/25

South Carolina S0157 amends storm recovery financing for electrical utilities, allowing them to issue bonds for Hurricane Helene recovery costs.

South Carolina S0157 amends the state code to modify the process for electrical utilities to recover costs from storm damage.

The bill also modifies the petition process for financing orders, allowing utilities to defer the review and approval of principal costs.
