WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 The Environmental Working Group issued the following news release:
A coalition of public interest, environmental and economic justice organizations will convene the first-ever hearing to examine Duke Energy s policies and practices, which have polluted and financially punished its low-income ratepayers and communities of color throughout its vast six-state service area.
The Duke Energy Accountability Coalition, launched last year, includes the People s Commission - an independent watchdog group acting solely in the public interest, free from the political and economic influence Duke wields with regulators, lawmakers and other elected officials throughout its territory.
On Jan. 29, the commission will hold its first virtual hearing to hear testimony from an array of experts and advocates who have worked for years to hold the nation s largest investor-owned utility accountable.
