Duke Energy wants to raise residential rates for Duke Energy Carolinas customers by 16% and for Duke Energy Progress customers by 18%. Duke’s proposal to raise electric rates could increase monthly bills by $20 to $30 for most residential customers. The request comes at a time when one in five customers served by Duke Energy Carolinas is already behind on their electric bills, and disconnections have jumped 37% since last year. https://actionnetwork.org/events/512-duke-energy-carolinas-rate-hike-hearing-in-durham
