An SC Electric & Gas lawyer’s complaints have shelved whistleblower Carlette Walker’s testimony.

A new date for her testimony has not been set.

The testimony of SCANA CEO Jimmy Addison will continue with other SCE&G witnesses this week.

Walker left the company after warning SCANA’s partners that executives were lying about progress on the now abandoned $9 billion nuclear project to continue high power rates and pay themselves millions of dollars in bonuses.

As SCANA executive vice president of nuclear finance administration, she said she suffered emotional stress in being forced to submit false testimony about the project’s cost to regulators.

As a condition of testifying, she had asked that top current and former executives – former SCANA CEO Kevin Marsh, Steve Byrne, Jeff Archie and Addison – not be present in the room.

They could watch video elsewhere at the PSC.

As a SCANA whistleblower, she sounded the nuclear alarm 2 years ago in a voicemail to a key Santee Cooper executive:

“I know the truth now, and I don’t want you and Santee to get screwed,” she said in the voicemail to Marion Cherry, a Santee Cooper on-site executive, before she quit in 2016.

“They are mismanaging that project, and it’s at y’all’s expense. They’re all on the frigging take...”

SCANA spokesman Eric Boomhower said Walker raised several concerns, mostly “personnel issues,” before she left her job.

One was a question about whether SCANA had done enough in 2015 to disclose problems, he said.

Her warnings were ignored and Santee Cooper’s board voted to continue work with SCANA on the failing nuclear project another year, the Charleston Post and Courier reported.

That decision cost San-tee Cooper and SCANA’s SC Electric & Gas ratepayers billion of dollars in charges.

Walker is now a key witness in lawsuits that may determine what went wrong with the $9 billion nuclear project and who should pay for its failure – utility executives, SCANA investors or ratepayers.

In her voicemail, Walker accused SCANA leaders of keeping the project going to boost profits and award millions in bonuses.

She was among them.

She was rewarded with pay raises and earned more than $565,000 in 2015.

“They are all of the same cloth,” she said of SCANA executives. “They all think they’re the smartest guys in the room.”

Walker declined to discuss the voicemail with The Post and Courier, referring questions to her West Columbia attorney, Jake Moore Sr. who did not respond to phone calls or questions sent via email.
