Text: SCE&G is a subsidiary of SCANA Corporation, a holding company. The Consumer Advocate challenges the Commission's approval of certain expenses attributable to services performed by SCANA for SCE&G. By statute, a utility must make an affirmative showing of the reasonableness, fairness, and absence of any injurious effect upon the public of any fees or charges growing out of any transactions between any electrical utility and an affiliated company. S.C. Code Ann. 58 27-2090 (Supp. 1991). The Commission found SCE&G established procedures for accounting and billing of transactions between affiliated companies and the holding company were fair and reasonable. The Commission's finding is supported by substantial evidence in the record. Accordingly, we affirm the Commission on this issue.
