ByHow To Request Your SCE&G Refund—Dominion Energy Refund Policy

What Is Dominion Energy Refund Policy?
Dominion Energy doesn’t have an explicit refund policy. The only information provided online is that customers are eligible for a refund if they were overcharged for the electricity bill due to the meter error or wrong meter reading. It’s not specified how you can request a refund, but you can try contacting their customer support specialists and talking to them about the issues you have with your bill.
You might be offered a refund of the full excess amount, or you could choose to have your next bill(s) reduced for that same amount.

V.C. Summer Nuclear Project Scandal
Since 2009, the SCE&G customers paid higher energy bills to finance two new nuclear units in Jenkinsville, at the V.C. Summer site. Since the company announced that they couldn’t finish the project and abandoned the construction in 2017, a lot of angry customers have requested a refund.
Dominion Energy acquired SCANA corporation, and, consequently, SCE&G in January 2019. According to the small claims court settlement, Dominion Energy had to send refund checks to customers who funded the project through bills. They started issuing refunds in August 2019.
The first round of chargebacks required Dominion Energy to pay back over $60 million dollars, while the total amount that needed to be refunded, according to the settlement, was over $140 million. The majority of customers received less than $100. Some clients who paid more each month had to receive at least $100, and only one customer received a refund of one million dollars.
Some customers chose to get a rate credit and have their electricity bills reduced instead of receiving a check with refund money.
Before the abandonment of the project and multiple lawsuits, SCE&G earned more than two million dollars from customers’ increased bills, which explains the anger and disappointment of the customers once the project was dropped.
