Stop Duke Energy’s Fee Hike!
A 200% increase: WTFee?!

South Carolina’s Public Service Commission has the power to stop Duke Energy’s outrageous 200 percent increase in its monthly ‘fixed’ fee. But commissioners need to hear that consumers won’t stand for it.

Sign our petition against this fee hike and we’ll deliver it to the Commission before it votes in April. After you sign on, you’ll find a list of upcoming public hearings on this fee hike where you can really increase your impact by showing up and speaking out!

We urge the South Carolina Public Service Commission to vote NO on Duke Energy’s proposed increase in its monthly ‘fixed’ fee.

This 200 percent fee hike is unnecessary and harms ratepayers by taking away our control over our bills. Fixed fee increases fall especially hard on low-income residents, shift a larger burden onto customers who use less energy, and reduce the incentive to conserve energy. The Commission should help make it easier for consumers to save energy and save money, but Duke’s proposal does the opposite and is not in consumers’ best interest.
