On Monday, June 22nd at 6 p.m., the Public Service Commission will be hosting a virtual public night hearing in Docket No. 2019-281-S. This hearing—their second virtual night hearing in the docket—will allow Palmetto Utilities, Inc. ratepayers to voice their opinions regarding the utility’s request for an increase of rates and charges. Testifiers will be able to deliver their comments via video conferencing or audio by calling the Commission’s testifying hotline. Everyone, whether testifying or not, is encouraged to watch the proceedings live at www.scetv.org/psc/ or by calling into the non-testifying line.
