Working groups to develop low-income, rate design, grid resiliency initiatives.
Duke Energy shareholders to contribute $16 million to support low-income customers.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy Carolinas will implement new rates for North Carolina customers on June 1, as approved by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC).
The new rates include state and federal tax savings for customers and will remain below the national average, even after adjustments are made to reflect past investments in cleaner, more reliable energy.
As part of its order, the NCUC approved settlement agreements reached with more than 10 diverse customer and environmental groups around ash basin closure costs, future grid investments and other major components of the 2019 rate request.
