Tell NC leaders: No rate hikes for Duke Energy!
Oppose this rate hike, and demand affordable energy
The system is tilted towards Duke, but we can fight back – because of you. Thank you for joining thousands of other NC residents that have signed our petition urging state leaders to rein Duke in, and demand affordable energy. But to stop Duke, we need as much support as we can muster. Can you help us spread the word by sharing our petition with your network today?
Hundreds of thousands of Duke Energy customer accounts received disconnect notices in January 2026. Even after reducing its requests, Duke is still seeking approval to collect $1.1 billion in additional revenue from North Carolina ratepayers.
Join us in calling on the North Carolina Utilities Commission to reject Duke’s massive overreach, and focus on lowering energy costs for North Carolina residents and families.
To the North Carolina Utilities Commission:
We urge the North Carolina Utilities Commission to limit Duke Energy's proposal to raise rates for North Carolina residents, and challenge Duke's return on equity expectations. Duke Energy, after reporting nearly $5 billion in net income last year, is asking regulators to increase electric rates further, driving up bills that so many customers already struggle to afford.
As Duke makes new promises on grid reliability, it is backtracking on earlier commitments to develop new sources of clean, affordable energy. Duke is seeking investment in new gas-burning facilities as it plans for growing electricity demand, including from Big Tech data centers. Customers should not be left paying for the energy demands of Big Tech. With so many families struggling to keep up with their electric bills, now is not the time to raise rates on ratepayers.
