The South Carolina Public Service Commission will hold a hearing regarding Duke Energy's request to raise your rates in Rock Hill on August 15 at York Technical College on S. Anderson Road. The hearing is open to the public and begins at 6 p.m.
Duke Energy wants to raise your electricity bill by 16.3%. This would be a more than $200 a year increase for the average customer who uses 1000 kwh of electricity each month.
CHARLOTTE — AARP members from the Carolinas joined a chorus of protesters at the Duke Energy shareholders meeting who feel the company’s rate hike requests are excessive in today’s economy.
