Duke Energy Accountability Coalition

Coalition of public interest groups holding Duke Energy accountable for its policies that impact ratepayers & slow progress toward a clean energy future.

[Duke Energy Accountability Coalition @EyeOnDukeEnergy]

"It follows a wave of document filings by environmental and clean energy groups..." including from @NCWARN, @ncAPPPL, @350Triangle, @AppVoices & @ewg https://t.co/UieApXlTa7

[Duke Energy Accountability Coalition @EyeOnDukeEnergy]

"...when it raised its leverage over the past decade, @DukeEnergy likely imagined it would retain political support from the GOP...However, the populist shift since 2020 has dramatically undone that, w/ more NC Republicans backing away from the company."

When @NCWARN, @ewg and our hub held a press conference about NC net metering we tried to get the journalists to focus on EEIs role in attacking rooftop solar.

We might as well have been singing the Swiss national anthem.

“They (@DukeEnergy) increase whatever they want, however they want, however much they want....They don’t care about regular people I don’t think.” https://t.co/hTLQbyjxGH

[Hoosiers for Clean Energy @INCleanEnergy]

Indiana utilities have no checks and balances, they keep raising rates and we keep paying for it. When will it stop?

NC appeals court to decide fate of cost-saving rules for solar power @wsoctv

"A coalition of environmental groups and solar installers, who brought the case to the court of appeals, say the new rules are killing the industry..." #SaveNCSolar https://t.co/1q3lInAqqc

[Duke Energy Accountability Coalition @EyeOnDukeEnergy]

North Carolina's rooftop solar industry could likely collapse, just like it has in California following that state's disastrous NEM 3.0 decision that has caused more than 17K clean energy jobs to vanish & 75% of solar companies now at high-risk of bankruptcy. #SaveNCSolar

🚨Read the article from @newsobserver: A troubling drop in rooftop solar power is coming to North Carolina🚨

NC WARN and allies are fighting @DukeEnergy's destruction of rooftop solar at the Court of Appeals✊

Follow the money.

Southern Company - with its subsidiaries Alabama Power, Georgia Power and Duke Energy - paid civil rights leaders who then became loyal advocates for the utilities. Read the latest from @FloodlightNews, @CapitalBNews, and @AdamLMahoney

This makes me madder by the day. What an outrageous stab in the back of small business by the utility lap dogs on our CPUC. Thanks for the solid coverage @SolarBillyL. https://t.co/uu9go03rWs @SolarPowerWorld

[Sunrise Durham Area 🌅 @SunriseDurham]

Not troubling for Duke Energy, which worked passionately to end full retail rate NEM with help from state lawmakers and the NC Utilities Commission 💸

Luckily, @NCWARN has appealed the NCUC's decision. With a lot of luck, we can still #SaveNCSolar 🌄

[Duke Energy Accountability Coalition @EyeOnDukeEnergy]

Power companies paid civil rights leaders in the US south. They became loyal industry advocates

“It felt like he was an employee of Duke [Energy].”

“We believe the settlement is a good deal for customers. It’s overall a good outcome for customers. We got a lot of good things not the least of which is cutting that rate increase nearly in half.” https://t.co/5Rb2IoCbhw

[Hoosiers for Clean Energy @INCleanEnergy]

This is a great way to lower your power bill and reduce carbon. We encourage people who qualify to apply.

The revolving door is alive and well in Georgia.
