Summary
Attorney General Jeff Jackson is launching a fierce defense against Duke Energy Progress’ proposed 15% rate hike, warning it would cost North Carolina families nearly a billion dollars over two years. Jackson’s team argues Duke can modernize its grid without crushing consumers—and is pushing for a fairer rate structure that shifts costs away from residential and small business users toward heavy energy users like data centers. Hearings begin August 4; a decision could come this fall—with new rates potentially taking effect January 1 if approved.
