South Carolina Electricity Rate Increases: Protecting Yourself from Dominion & Duke

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

South Carolina residents have watched their electric bills climb steadily as major utility companies continually petition the Public Service Commission for multi-year rate hikes. Both Dominion Energy and Duke Energy have implemented significant increases to fund infrastructure upgrades and fuel costs.

01

The Cost of Renting Your Power

When you pay a utility bill, you are renting your electricity, and you have zero control over future price hikes. Even if you drastically reduce your home's energy usage, your monthly bill will continue to rise as utilities increase their fixed "basic facilities" charges and peak delivery rates.

02

Taking Ownership with Solar

By installing a Tier-1 solar system with SunBeam Innovations, you take ownership of your energy production. By utilizing a fixed-rate, zero-down solar loan, you lock in your cost of electricity for the next 25 years. You permanently break free from the inflation cycle of the South Carolina utility market.
