N.C. regulators approve controversial Duke Energy plan that lets large customers chip in for solar projects

In this mention

North Carolina regulators approved Duke Energy's Green Source Advantage Choice tariff, which allows large customers to pay to accelerate solar farm construction by approximately two years. The program addresses regulatory surplus concerns through a resource acceleration option, though clean energy advocates including SACE's Maggie Shober view it as a limited step that leaves 80% of the program without genuine additionality. Duke plans to formalize the program in coming weeks and may propose a more ambitious Clean Transition Tariff later in 2024.
