Regulators deny Duke rate hike request in North Carolina
North Carolina Utilities Commission denied Duke Energy Carolinas’ request to raise electric rates by about 8.5 percent and ordered a $60 million refund of deferred taxes plus a $70 million fine for coal ash handling. The panel said the tax refund must go to customers and the coal ash penalty cannot be passed to them. Duke will review the ruling and determine next steps. Public and environmental groups criticized Duke for years of coal ash storage and seek a full cleanup cost recovery from ratepayers.
