Duke Energy Progress claimed in rate case hearings this week that its residential ratepayers would pay about 6.8% more over the next two years. That testimony was incorrect. Duke Energy Progress residential households will actually pay about 9.3% more over the next two years.

“The details matter here, and Duke got it wrong under oath. A 6.8% increase was already too high for families, and Duke can’t justify an even bigger increase. We’re not signing this deal.” – AG Jackson
