Duke Energy scraps nuke plant, seeks higher power rates: "RALEIGH - Duke Energy asked regulators Friday to let its western North Carolina subsidiary raise household electricity bills by 16.7 percent and make consumers pay billions of dollars for a nuclear plant it won’t open and the cleanup of coal ash deposited in unlined pits.
The country’s largest electric company asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission to let it raise rates by $647 million a year, adding $18.72 to the $104 monthly bill of the typical residential customer of its Duke Energy Carolinas subsidiary."
