Duke Energy raises rates in South Carolina
In this mention
South Carolina's Public Service Commission approved Duke Energy Carolinas' 10.4% rate increase citing rising fossil fuel costs. Maggie Shober of SACE argues the current system places all financial risk on customers and calls for utilities to expand affordable clean resources like energy efficiency and renewable energy to lower bills.
Our current system puts all the risk on customers. Customers pay for all the gas and coal burned in Duke power plants; the utility's shareholders do not. South Carolinians will continue to be hit with fuel rate increases until the Commission requires utilities to expand affordable clean resources that lower customer bills like energy efficiency and renewable energy.
