🚨 North Carolina
On Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:00 PM, there is a public hearing at the Durham County Courthouse where Duke Energy will try to justify raising your electric rates by 15% over the next 2 years.
They’re walking into the NC Utilities Commission to make their “case” for making us — hardworking families, seniors, small business owners, and everyday Tar Heels — pay for their pensions and massive new power fleet upgrades.
But here’s the kicker: It’s not just Duke customers getting slammed.
Electric co-op members all across the state will see their bills go up too, because most co-ops buy their wholesale power from Duke. When Duke hikes the rates, those increases get passed straight through to rural and small-town families.
While Duke posts billions in profits and hands out big executive bonuses, they want us to swallow another double-digit rate hike — that’s roughly $17–$30+ more per month for the average household on top of inflation, groceries, and everything else. This is corporate greed dressed up as “necessary investment.”
Enough is enough! North Carolina deserves affordable, reliable energy without being treated like an unlimited ATM for a monopoly utility and its partners.
