RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The North Carolina Utilities Commission has signed off on orders involving Duke Energy‘s two electric subsidiaries in the state over their 2019 rate increase requests and a plan for how the company will pay to get rid of coal ash stored in the state.
The regulatory panel issued an order Friday involving Duke Energy Progress, whose customers are largely in the Triangle area and points east, as well as in and around Asheville. A similar order was filed March 31 involving Duke Energy Carolinas, which includes Charlotte and most of western North Carolina. The two subsidiaries have 3.4 million electric customers in the state.
