Regulators urged for electric city rate oversight in North Carolina
A North Carolina legislative hearing heard from consumer groups led by Concerned Citizens for Responsible Regulation of Utility Rates. They urged state action to regulate electric city rates and create a third party for complaints, citing Duke Power as a benchmark and proposals from Lt. Gov. Hunt and Atty. Gen. Edmisten. Citizens tied bills to expanding the Utilities Commission and reducing rate discrimination.
