Rate Case Outcomes

Duke Energy CORP · 2026-09-22 · Importance 65 · Surprise 60

North Carolina regulators denied Duke Energy’s request to construct a 255-MW natural-gas-fueled simple-cycle combustion turbine. The commission cited the project’s $584 million cost, uncertain data-center-driven load growth, and concerns about Duke’s demand and cost modeling and compliance with the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge. Regulators deferred further decisions until completion of the Consolidated Carbon Plan and Integrated Resource Plan evaluation in late 2026, while Duke assesses its next steps.
