Duke Power seeks 12 percent rate hike in NC
Duke Power Co asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission for an immediate 12 per cent rate increase citing hazardous finances. Miners from Duke’s Kentucky coal mine and Duke University students picketed outside while hearings continued. Duke’s Carl Horn argued rising fuel and construction costs justify relief to restore bond ratings. the company seeks a total permanent increase averaging 16.8 percent, about $60 million more revenue and a jump in average bill from $19.29 to $21.26. The commission planned further testimony as miners pressed to pause any raise until the Brookside Mine strike ends. the dispute involves safety violations and wage timing. Duke and the university share a historical link through James B. Duke.
