Duke Energy Progress and Duke Energy Carolinas are planning to raise rates by nearly 18% over the next three years for residential customers. Customers should not be paying more for Duke to continue burning dirty fossil fuels. The Inflation Reduction Act offers incentives for transmission upgrades and renewable energy deployment. Duke Energy will file its next carbon plan on Sept. 1, 2023. We need to make sure this filing properly takes advantage of federal investments that will not require increasing monthly energy bills for residents across the state The North Carolina Utilities Commission is hosting a series of public hearings on these proposed hikes. You can also submit a written comment and include the docket number E-2 SUB 1300. Not sure what to tell the utilities commission? We're glad to help. Email Maddy Koch at maddy@appvoices.org.
