Duke rate increase public hearing

Duke Energy will be going before the N.C. Utilities Commission (while it still exists) to argue for an almost 10% increase in their rates. This comes on the heels of Duke’s announcement that it’s closing its crippled Crystal River nuclear plant.

If you’d like to weigh in on this proposed rate increase, you can speak during the hearing. It will be held on Monday, February 11, 2013 at 7:00 pm before the NC Utilities Commission. The Commission meets in the Dobbs Building, 430 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh.
