The Public Service Commission of South Carolina (SCPSC) has cleared the takeover of SCANA by the US energy utility Dominion Energy, with conditions to be outlined later as part of a written order that is to be issued by the end of December 2018. Besides, it has also approved Dominion Energy's latest customer benefits plan. Dominion Energy has received all the other required regulatory approvals and now only awaits the SCPSC final written order prior to closing the merger.
