How You Can Get Involved
Santee Cooper’s residential, commercial, industrial, municipal street lighting, and certain wholesale customers have the right to review the proposed rate schedules; appear and speak in person concerning the proposed rates at public meetings or the specified meetings of the Board of Directors; and submit written comments.
Santee Cooper held a public review and comment period, and we encouraged customers to get involved by reviewing proposed rate schedules and appearing and speaking in public at a meeting or submitting written comments.
The deadline for public comment has passed. Santee Cooper will respond to reasonable questions and requests for information that we have received by the end of the oral comment period on Oct. 8, 2024.
