2022年2月23日 · New to the area, first time homebuyers. So we moved to a house in the 27603 area back in October '21. We noticed that last November, Duke Energy included a ~$6 charge for a streetlight. When we called them, they said that it's for a streetlight on our property. We don't have a streetlight on our property, so the call got escalated to someone else.

Duke Energy has to justify rate increases and get them approved by the State, and they're entitled to a certain profit margin -- across the entire company, that margin is about 8.5% and that margin gives stockholders a dividend of about 4% on the value of their Duke stock (That steady return is the main reason why a lot of senior citizens ...

2023年6月23日 · All power companies just raised rates. If you haven’t already, you can get your power supplied by another provider for $.06-.08/kWH (instead of Duke’s $.11ish/kWH). It’s still delivered through Duke’s lines but is generated by another company. The process is relatively seamless and you still pay the bill the same way.

2022年7月23日 · Service Delivery is always handled by Duke and represents the costs to deliver the energy to your house. Power lines and such. My bill with and without a Choice Supplier is the same. "Distribution-Customer Charge" (has been $8/month in recent history) "Distribution-Energy Charge" (mine has recently been $0.039693 per kWh)

What an amazing future it will be as we phase out fossil fuel burning (but not completely because we’re subsidized for that too) and increase our energy mix in favor of solar. The profits are projected to be astronomical and our shareholders are thrilled … but also, Fuck You.

The only figure on the entire report that is likely to be based on anything is the total kwh I've used -- Duke Energy certainly has that information. If you're like me, the email also says "Your Profile is 0% complete" and "Complete every part of your Home …

The demand peak argument is currently not relevant, especially as Duke Energy Progress produces about 33% of energy with NG. Fluctuation of consumption during the day is less than that. Hence the solar output currently saves them NG 1:1.

2023年5月8日 · This must be somewhat new. I got my EV last year in February 2022, and Duke Energy was doing absolutely nothing at all for EV owners at that time. My brother-in-law is an electrician, so I didn't pay any labor for my charger install. I just paid for a …

So the NCUC - Duke's regulator - is basically a wholly captured subsidiary of Duke Energy? On what basis do you claim that the company's rate requests are "laughable", i.e., pro forma? Would love to see any evidence you can muster to support. Are …

2022年5月6日 · I just cross-posted a post with the subject line “Duke Energy Screwing Us Again” to r/NorthCarolina. If you scroll through the comments, I commented I am from NC and curious about solar panels. Duke Energy is my power company. There is great info within the post, from r/Ducati0411, regarding solar panel companies in conjunction with Duke ...
