Pending, biggest first
This is a separate North Carolina case from Dominion's larger Virginia rate filings; it only affects Dominion customers in Dominion's small northeastern North Carolina service area.
Recent decisions
If the commission approves the settlement as negotiated, a typical 1,000 kWh residential bill would rise about 6.53 dollars a month once new rates take effect; the case is not yet decided.
A North Carolina Utilities Commission ruling on this case is due by September 20, 2026; if it does not rule in time, Duke's full 18.1 percent original request takes effect instead of the smaller settlement figure.
