Don't Let Duke Energy Bury Its Coal Ash Problem

Currently, Duke Energy is asking the North Carolina Utilities Commission to let it include coal ash costs in a general rate hike request later this year. If that happens, the question of who pays for Duke Energy's coal ash problem will be buried under a mountain of other issues.

The NC Utilities Commission should keep any costs related to Duke Energy's coal ash storage or cleanup in a separate proceeding rather than a general rate case. The cost and responsibility for coal ash storage and disposal remains a complex issue which deserves special attention.

North Carolina ratepayers deserve a clear and transparent process for possible rate hikes for Duke Energy’s coal ash. Sign our petition urging the Utilities Commission to require a separate rate case for their coal ash problem.

We urge the Utilities Commission to keep any costs related to Duke Energy’s coal ash storage or cleanup in a separate proceeding rather than a general rate case. The cost and responsibility for coal ash storage and disposal remains a complex issue which deserves special attention.

The Utilities Commission should require a separate rate case regarding costs related to coal ash storage and should require an evidentiary hearing. North Carolina ratepayers need clarity and transparency as Duke Energy seeks to raise our rates to pay for its coal ash problems.

Thank you.
