Supreme Court of South Carolina

SC Coastal Conservation League v. Dominion Energy

December 9, 2020

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the Public Service Commission’s 2018 renewable energy rate order. The Court held the appeal was moot because the 2018 rates had been superseded by the PSC’s 2019 rates under the Energy Freedom Act, rendering any judicial guidance academic. The Court therefore dismissed the case without addressing the appellants’ standing claims.
