P R O C E E D I N G S 1

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Please be seated. We’ll 2

call this Commission Meeting to order and ask that 3

we pause for a moment of silent meditation. 4

[Brief pause] 5

Amen. 6

Mr. Pratt 7

MR. PRATT: Mr. Chairman and Commissioners, 8

the first order of business would be to set the 9

time of the next meeting, and I’d like to suggest 10

Wednesday, April 4th, at 2 p.m. 11

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: April 4th sounds good, 12

Mr. Pratt. 13

MR. PRATT: Moving to the Utility Agenda our 14

first item is Docket No. 2018-9-E, which is South 15

Carolina Electric & Gas Company’s Integrated 16

Resource Plan, and we have a Petition to Intervene. 17

COMMISSIONER HAMILTON: Mr. Chairman. 18

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Hamilton. 19

COMMISSIONER HAMILTON: Mr. Chairman, before I 20

make the motion, I’d like to note that if our 21

visitors move any closer to the back, they’ll be 22

blocking traffic. 23

[Laughter] 24

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: So noted, Commissioner 25

Hamilton. 26

COMMISSIONER HAMILTON: Thank you, sir. Mr. 27

Chairman, I’d like to move to grant the Petition to 28

Intervene in Docket No. 2018-9-E, filed on behalf 29

of the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League 30

and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. So 31

moved, sir. 32



CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Thank you, Commissioner 1

Hamilton. 2

Commissioners, you’ve heard Commissioner 3

Hamilton’s motion. Is there any discussion? 4

[No response] 5

Hearing none, all those in favor, please, say 6

“aye”? 7

COMMISSIONERS: Aye. 8

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Any opposed? 9

[No response] 10

Motion carries. 11

Mr. Pratt. 12

MR. PRATT: Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman and 13

Commissioners, Item 2 is Docket No. 2018-73-E, and 14

this is South Carolina Electric & Gas Company’s 15

request for approval of a contract for electric 16

service with Trane U.S., Incorporated, and a 17

request for confidential treatment. 18

COMMISSIONER BOCKMAN: Mr. Chairman? 19

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Bockman. 20

COMMISSIONER BOCKMAN: Mr. Chairman, I have a 21

motion I’d like to make in connection with this 22

matter, please. I would move that we approve the 23

contract and grant the company’s request for 24

confidential treatment of certain provisions of the 25

contract, as it includes pricing and design 26

information designated by FERC as Critical 27

Energy/Electric Infrastructure Information. The 28

Office of Regulatory Staff does not object to this 29

contract, Mr. Chairman, and I would so move that we 30

approve it. 31




Bockman. 1


Bockman’s motion. Is there any discussion? 3

[No response] 4

If not, all those in favor, please, say “aye”? 5



[No response] 8

Motion carries. 9

MR. PRATT: Mr. Chairman, Commissioners, Item 10

3 is Docket No. 2018-75-E, which is a Renewable 11

Power Purchase Agreement between South Carolina 12

Electric & Gas Company and Midlands Solar, LLC. 13

COMMISSIONER ELAM: Mr. Chairman? 14

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Elam. 15

COMMISSIONER ELAM: Mr. Chairman, I move we 16

accept for filing the Renewable Power Purchase 17

Agreement and Amendment between South Carolina 18

Electric & Gas Company and Midlands Solar, LLC. So 19

moved. 20

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Thank you. 21

You’ve heard Commissioner Elam’s motion. Is 22

there any discussion? 23

[No response] 24

Hearing none, all those in favor of 25

Commissioner Elam’s motion, please, say “aye.” 26



[No response] 29

Motion carries. 30

MR. PRATT: Mr. Chairman and other 31

Commissioners, in Item 4, we have a Power Purchase 32



Agreement between Duke Energy Progress and Cherry 1

Blossom Solar, LLC. 2



COMMISSIONER ELAM: Mr. Chairman, after review 5

of the confidential portions of the agreement, I 6

find that they are narrowly drawn and specifically 7

targeted to protect confidential or proprietary 8

terms and are exempt from disclosure pursuant to 9

South Carolina Code Section 58-4-55(C). Therefore, 10

I move that we accept for filing and grant 11

confidential treatment, based on the same rationale 12

as our rulings in Docket 2016-41-E and 2016-42-E. 13

So moved. 14


Elam. 16


Elam’s motion. Is there any discussion or any 18

questions regarding his motion? 19

[No response] 20


“aye.” 22



[No response] 25

Motion carries. 26


Item 5 is Docket No. 2018-60-E, which is the Sallie 28

Saldano Complaint against South Carolina Electric & 29

Gas Company. We have a Motion to Dismiss. We 30

would like to carry this item over. 31

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: So noted, Mr. Pratt. We 32



will carry over Item 5. 1

MR. PRATT: Thank you. Item 6 is the 2

Application of Duke Energy Progress, LLC, for 3

approval of the transfer and sale of property in 4

Holly Springs, North Carolina. 5



COMMISSIONER ELAM: Since I’ve apparently 8

still got the floor and love the sound of my own 9

voice, on this particular filing by Duke Energy 10

Progress it concerns a 425-acre parcel of vacant 11

land not required for utility operations. A 12

contract to sell property to Shenandoah Homes for 13

$17 million, that’s what the contract is for, and 14

Shenandoah Homes is not affiliated with Duke Energy 15

Progress. The property was marketed by a DEP 16

employee, who is a licensed real estate broker and 17

who is familiar with property values in the market 18

for tracts like the property at issue. 19

The property has a tax value of $14,675,799. 20

As of May 25, 2017, the appraised value of the 21

property was $12,765,000, and the property has a 22

net book value of $591,622. 23

The original cost of the property will be 24

credited as a reduction of the amount carried under 25

Account 101, “Electric Plant in Service.” The 26

difference between the sales price and the original 27

cost of the non-depreciable property will be 28

applied to Account 421.10, “Gain on Disposition of 29

Property.” 30

And last but not least, ORS does not oppose 31

the sale. 32



Therefore, I would move that we accept — 1

approve the filing. 2


Elam. 4


Elam’s motion for the approval of sale and transfer 6

of property of Duke, in the Holly Springs, North 7

Carolina, area, to a non-Duke-affiliate. Are there 8

any questions regarding Commissioner Elam’s motion? 9

[No response] 10

If not, all those in favor of Commissioner 11

Elam’s motion, please, say “aye.” 12



[No response] 15

Motion carries. 16


Item 7 is Docket No. 2018-25-E, which is the Joint 18

Petition to transfer a Certificate of Environmental 19

Compatibility and Public Convenience and Necessity 20

from Columbia Energy, LLC, to South Carolina 21

Electric & Gas Company. 22

COMMISSIONER HOWARD: Mr. Chairman. 23

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Howard. 24

COMMISSIONER HOWARD: Thank you. In Docket 25

No. 2018-25-E, I move we hold in abeyance the 26

transfer of the Certificate of Environmental 27

Compatibility and Public Convenience and Necessity 28

from Columbia Energy Supply, LLC, to South Carolina 29

Electric & Gas Company, and order the companies to 30

file their agreement and request approval of their 31

steam contract. That’s my motion, Mr. Chairman. 32




Howard. 2


Howard’s motion. Is there any discussion or any 4

questions regarding his motion? 5

[No response] 6


Commissioner Howard’s motion, please, say “aye.” 8



[No response] 11

Motion carries. 12


Item 8 is Docket No. 2018-72-E, which is the 14

Application of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC, for 15

approval of Rider 10, Demand-Side Management and 16

Energy Efficiency for 2019, and they want to waive 17

notice and hearing. 18

COMMISSIONER FLEMING: Mr. Chairman. 19

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Fleming. 20

COMMISSIONER FLEMING: For Docket No. 2018-72-21

E, I move to deny the request for waiver of notice 22

and hold in abeyance the request for waiver of 23

hearing until intervention period has expired. I 24

so move. 25


Fleming. 27


Fleming’s motion. Is there any discussion 29

regarding her motion? 30

[No response] 31






[No response] 3

Motion carries. 4

MR. PRATT: Item 9, Docket No. 2016-384-S, 5

which is the Application of Moore Sewer, 6

Incorporated, for approval of an increase in sewer 7

rates. We have a request for a public night 8

hearing in Spartanburg County. 9



COMMISSIONER FLEMING: For Docket No. 2016-12

384-S, I would invite all the interested parties to 13

attend the public hearing, public night hearing, 14

that is currently scheduled for 6 p.m., on May 3, 15

2018, at the Spartanburg County Council Chambers. 16


Fleming. 18

You’ve heard Commissioner Fleming’s motion. 19

Is there any discussion regarding a night hearing 20

in Spartanburg? 21

[No response] 22


Fleming’s motion, please, say “aye.” 24



[No response] 27

Motion carries. 28

MR. PRATT: Item 10, we have Docket No. 2018-29

28-W, which is the Application of JACABB Utilities, 30

LLC, for approval of an expansion of its existing 31

water service area and to include certain portions 32



of Pickens County, and request for approval of the 1

water system asset purchase agreement with Crawford 2

Falls Owners Association, Inc. 3

VICE CHAIRMAN RANDALL: Mr. Chairman. 4

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Randall. 5

VICE CHAIRMAN RANDALL: Mr. Chairman, in 6

Docket No. 2018-28-W, I move that we approve the 7

expansion of JACABB Utilities, LLC’s existing water 8

service area to include certain portions of Pickens 9

County and that we approve the Water System Asset 10

Purchase Agreement with Crawford Falls Owners 11

Association, Incorporated. 12

There are several points on this to be noted. 13

ORS does not object to this. JACABB is currently 14

authorized to provide service in areas of Pickens 15

County, so this is consistent with what they’ve 16

been doing. JACABB requests that it be allowed to 17

provide water service in the expanded service 18

territory pursuant to rates and charges that were 19

approved in Docket No. 2008-173-W. The City of 20

Clemson will provide water via a master meter to 21

the Crawford Falls Subdivision and will be 22

responsible for the sewer and storm water service. 23

JACABB will be responsible for calculating and 24

collecting payment from individual customers for 25

sewer service and storm water service provided by 26

the City of Clemson. JACABB also requests that the 27

sewer and storm water service charges be approved 28

as pass-through charges with a monthly 29

administration billing fee of $4.50 to each 30

homeowner or customer. 31

So moved, Mr. Chairman. 32




Randall. 2

You’ve heard Commissioner Randall’s motion. 3

Is there any discussion? 4

[No response] 5


Randall’s motion, please, say “aye.” 7



[No response] 10

Motion carries. 11


Item 11 is Docket No. 2014-346-WS, the Application 13

of Daufuskie Island Utility Company, Incorporated, 14

for approval of an increase in water and sewer 15

rates, terms, and conditions, and we have a 16

Petition for Reconsideration on Commission Order on 17

Rehearing. 18

COMMISSIONER BOCKMAN: Mr. Chairman? 19

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Commissioner Bockman. 20

COMMISSIONER BOCKMAN: At the risk of 21

expanding my reputation for long-winded motions, I 22

do have one of that nature that I’d like to offer 23

in this matter. 24

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: Well, we’re ready, 25

Commissioner Bockman. You go right ahead. 26

COMMISSIONER BOCKMAN: Thank you, Mr. 27

Chairman. 28

Mr. Chairman, I move that Daufuskie Island 29

Utility Company’s Petition for Reconsideration of 30

Order No. 2018-68 be denied. 31

The company’s Petition first questions the 32



Order’s basis for supporting the ORS recommendation 1

excluding $699,361 in gross plant from rate base. 2

The Order cited specific testimony from ORS 3

auditors, which established that the amount 4

proposed for exclusion was derived after adding the 5

elevated tank site and related facilities to the 6

account for plant-in-service as discussed by the 7

Supreme Court’s opinion, and established that the 8

company failed to present evidence supporting the 9

value of the remaining excluded plant-in-service by 10

invoices or other probative evidence. Based on the 11

company’s own witness’s testimony, I believe ORS 12

furnished information that enabled the company to 13

identify specifics of the various items considered 14

in plant-in-service at issue, along with categories 15

of such plant. Specifically, in the original case, 16

Witness Guastella, on page five of his rebuttal 17

testimony, stated that ORS had provided DIUC with 18

work papers as a follow-up to the audit exit 19

conference call that enabled the company to 20

identify what it believes are the specifics of the 21

ORS adjustments. 22

The NARUC Uniform System of Accounts for both 23

water and wastewater companies requires that 24

property records be maintained by the utility. 25

Lacking such documentation, ORS properly excluded 26

the $699,361 in plant-in-service. Although the 27

company argued that, despite the absence of 28

verifiable property records, ORS should have 29

accepted the company’s own estimates of the values, 30

the Commission cannot accept estimates in regard 31

to the rate-base items in question without proper 32



documentation of relevant, sufficient, and reliable 1

data on which to decide the company’s revenue 2

requirements. The company has not established a 3

process for preparing accounting estimates that can 4

be audited by an independent third party, such as 5

the ORS. Therefore, the company must provide 6

proper documentation for such items in future 7

proceedings, if it seeks approval of them. Such 8

documentation can be provided by various sources, 9

such as obtaining duplicate invoices from vendors, 10

presenting cancelled checks as proof of payment, 11

obtaining copies of cancelled checks from banking 12

institutions when necessary, supplying copies of 13

paid contracts, and/or obtaining independent third-14

party estimates for questioned items. 15

I also believe that the evidence presented by 16

ORS supports the adjustment made for capital costs 17

and legal costs associated with plant-in-service, 18

which we adopted in Order No. 2018-68, and company 19

allegations to the contrary must also be rejected. 20

With regard to DIUC’s allegations regarding 21

accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense, 22

it is clear that ORS updated these “fall out” 23

adjustments and presented them during the rehearing 24

of this case. Therefore, the Commission Order 25

adopting these adjustments was proper and need not 26

be reconsidered. 27

Considering the rate-case expense issue, we 28

recognized in our Order on Rehearing that ORS 29

Witness Hipp completed a thorough review of all 30

invoices from Guastella Associates, and found them 31

to lack specific detail in many respects. Although 32



the company failed to meet its burden regarding 1

sufficiency of evidence, the Commission has made it 2

clear that the company is not foreclosed from 3

providing sufficient evidence on this issue in its 4

next rate case. Accordingly, this allegation of 5

error in the Order on Rehearing is without any 6

substantial basis. 7

This motion summarizes my proposed resolution 8

of the company’s Petition. If the Commission 9

adopts this motion, I further move that a full 10

order should follow that provides full details of 11

the rationales for the decision. 12

In summary, again, I move that we deny the 13

relief the company requests in the Petition for 14

Reconsideration in its entirety. Finally, in its 15

filing on February 4, 2018, the company noted that, 16

pursuant to our Order on Rehearing, it is 17

collecting $955,136 in additional annual revenue, 18

rather than the $950,166 in additional revenue that 19

we approved in that Order. I move that we require 20

the company to make appropriate adjustments to 21

cease the collection of the annual revenue which 22

exceeds the authorized level of $950,166. 23

Mr. Chairman, that concludes my motion, and I 24

so move. 25


Bockman. 27


Bockman’s lengthy motion, as he described it, in 29

this item. Are there any questions or is there any 30

discussion of this item? Commissioner Elam. 31

COMMISSIONER ELAM: Mr. Chairman, if you will 32



recall, I was one of two on this panel who filed a 1

dissent from this Order. I’m going to support Mr. 2

Bockman’s motion. As part of the Staff’s filling 3

in the details, I hope that it is re-emphasized 4

that an examination of the appropriate used-and-5

useful rate base can be addressed in the next 6

proceeding. I believe it should have been in this 7

proceeding, but it has to be open to the next 8

proceeding. 9

In addition to that, I support the finding in 10

Commissioner Bockman’s motion on the rate-case 11

expenses, and when we’re talking about north of 12

$½ million in rate-case expenses for a company of 13

this small size, when rate-case expenses become a 14

significant percentage of the increase in rates, I 15

think that just becomes unconscionable. And for 16

those reasons, I would support Commissioner 17

Bockman’s motion. 18


Elam. I do remember your dissent, and I do — your 20

points are so noted. And also I noted that you are 21

in support of Commissioner Bockman’s motion. 22

Any further — Commissioner Fleming? 23

COMMISSIONER FLEMING: Being the second person 24

who dissented, I concur with what Commissioner Elam 25

has said, and I also support the motion that 26

Commissioner Bockman has made. And with that, I’ll 27

move on to the vote. 28


Fleming. 30

Any other Commissioner questions, discussion, 31

anything related to this item? 32



[No response] 1

Okay, hearing none from down the other end of 2

the bench, I’m going to call for the question. You 3

heard Commissioner Bockman’s motion. Now that 4

we’ve had discussion, if there’s no further 5

discussion, all those in favor of Commissioner 6

Bockman’s motion in this item, please say “aye.” 7



[No response] 10

Motion carries. 11


once again dealing with Docket No. 2014-346-WS and 13

Daufuskie’s Application for a rate increase, we 14

have the Applicant’s Motion for an order regarding 15

bonds. 16



VICE CHAIRMAN RANDALL: Mr. Chairman, in 19

Docket No. 2014-346-WS, I move that Daufuskie 20

Island Utility Company’s Motion for Order Regarding 21

Bonds be held in abeyance. 22

ORS reports that it’s not completed its review 23

to ensure that the company is complying with the 24

Commission’s Order 2018-68 that stated, “The 25

company shall refund the difference between the 26

amount it collected under bond and the amount this 27

Commission approves...to the customers that paid 28

the excessive rates at an interest rate of 12 29

percent per annum.” However, according to ORS’ 30

response to the Motion, its review thus far has 31

raised questions regarding the amounts refunded, 32



the status of refunds to former customers of DIUC, 1

and the methodology used to calculate those 2

amounts. ORS, therefore, argues that the issuance 3

of refunds is not settled and that issuing an order 4

authorizing the surety to release the letter of 5

credit would place ratepayers at risk. 6

I agree with the ORS that releasing the letter 7

of credit at this time would be premature. I move 8

that we request ORS to complete its review by April 9

30th, or upon such additional time as it might 10

reasonably need and request. DIUC’s Motion will be 11

taken up again by this Commission subsequent to the 12

filing of the ORS review. 13

So moved, Mr. Chairman. 14


Randall. 16


Randall’s motion in Item 12. Is there any 18

discussion or any questions regarding his motion? 19

Any discussion, further, of this item? 20

[No response] 21

Okay. Hearing none, all those in favor of 22

Commissioner Randall’s motion at this time, please, 23

say “aye.” 24



[No response] 27

Motion carries. 28

MR. PRATT: Mr. Chairman, Item 13 is Docket 29

No. 2018-32-C, which is the Joint Application of 30

Birch Communications, LLC, and Birch Telecom of the 31

South, LLC, for approval of a corporate 32



restructuring. 1



COMMISSIONER FLEMING: For Docket No. 2018-32-4

C, I move to approve the corporate restructuring as 5

proposed by Birch Communications, LLC, and Birch 6

Telecom of the South, LLC, in which residential and 7

single-line business customers will be separated 8

from large business and cloud customers. 9

With this restructuring, Birch Telecom, LLC, 10

will serve residential and single-line business 11

customers, and Birch Communications, LLC, will 12

serve large business and cloud customers, with 13

customers being transferred to the appropriate 14

entity. 15

Birch Telecom and Birch Communications will 16

continue to operate under the “Birch 17

Communications” name, so customers will continue to 18

receive service under that “Birch Communications.” 19

Birch Telecom, LLC, will be spun off to a newly 20

formed holding company, Lingo Communications, LLC, 21

which will be owned by the existing owners of Birch 22

Communications and Birch Telecom. I so move. 23


Fleming. 25

You’ve heard Commissioner Fleming’s motion. 26

Motion carries. 24

MR. PRATT: Mr. Chairman, in Item 8, Docket 25

No. 2018-36-T, Party Time Transportation & 26

Services, LLC, has a request to rescind Commission 27

CHAIRMAN WHITFIELD: You’ve heard Commissioner 22

Hamilton’s motion on requests to cancel, in these 23

items. Is there any question or any discussion, 24

regarding Commissioner Hamilton’s motion? 25
