Just $2 billion…in rate hikes for customers like you. Duke Energy claims its merger with Progress Energy will save customers $650 million over six years.
How did Duke executives hide $2 billion in planned rate hikes?
But Duke executives hid plans to spend over $2 billion improving its nuclear plants until the merger was approved.
Urge commissioners to force this corporate giant to prove – in open hearings – that the merger benefits customers, as required by law.
So instead of saving households a little – under a buck a month – it looks like the merger will cost us a lot.
Ask the N.C. Utilities Commission.
Tell them it’s YOUR money Duke Energy is spending.
