Summary
Duke Energy’s proposed rate hike for North Carolina has been scaled back from 18% to 11.6%—still steep, but a concession under scrutiny by the state’s Utilities Commission, with a decision expected this fall. Attorney General Jeff Jackson calls the cut a step in the right direction, but warns it’s still too high for many families. If approved, new rates could hit bills as early as January, making this a crucial update for household budgets across the state.
