Utilities Commission Denies Duke Rate Rise Dismissal
The North Carolina Utilities Commission rejected a motion to dismiss Duke Power Co. 16.6 per cent rate hike request, saying it lacks authority to dismiss the older 16.8 per cent, 60.4 million proposal and rejected Duke's 47 million immediate temporary increase. Attorney General J Beverly Lake Jr. reserved appeal rights, arguing the commission forestalled the temporary rise. The panel asked for briefs on suspending the fuel escalator clause tied to coal price increases affecting Great Lakes Carbon Corp. and CP&L delays in nuclear plant plans.

Duke Plans To Cutback Generation
RALEIGH AP North Carolina Utilities Commission members said Duke Power Co plans to cut back on generating station construction will not substantially affect the current rate case. Duke announced delaying two nuclear plants and considering delays at several others. Commission chairman Marvin Woolen said the rate case is based on 1973 finances and won’t be substantially changed by delays. Commission attorney Edward Hipp said delays could indirectly affect the case since Duke’s plea for higher rates hinges on financing new construction.
