DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. DR99-1-000, et al.]
South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, et al.; Electric Rate and
Corporate Regulation Filings
November 16, 1998.
Take notice that the following filings have been made with the
Commission:
1. South Carolina Electric & Gas Co.
[Docket No. DR99-1-000]
Take notice that on November 2, 1998, South Carolina Electric & Gas
Company (SCE&G), tendered for filing a request for approval of
depreciation rates for accounting purposes only pursuant to Section 302
of the Federal Power Act and Rule 204 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure. SCE&G states that the proposed rates were
approved by the Public Service Commission of South Carolina,
retroactive to January 15, 1996.1 SCE&G requests that the
Commission allow the proposed depreciation rates to become effective as
of January 15, 1996.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On December 23, 1997, SCE&G submitted a request for approval
of changes in depreciation rates for accounting purposes (Docket No.
DR98-18-000 (unnoticed)). The request indicated that SCE&G was
seeking an extension of the filing deadline pending resolution of an
appeal of an order in its last Public Service Commission (PSC) of
South Carolina retail rate filing proceeding (Docket No. 95-1000-E,
Order No. 96-15). In the Order, the PSC granted the Company a change
in depreciation rates that contemplated the effects of a transfer of
depreciation reserves from transmission and distribution to nuclear
production assets. The Consumer Advocate for the State of South
Carolina and another intervenor appealed the reserve transfer issue.
In March 1998 the PSC and the appellants reached a settlement
wherein the reserve transfer would be reversed. Also, the Order
approved revised depreciation rates for nuclear production,
transmission, and distribution assets that exclude the effect of the
reserve transfer, retroactive to January 15, 1996, the effective
date of the original PSC Order. This request reflects the PSC
approved action.
