flag Duke Energy’s Carolina unit got an F for relying on gas and delaying clean energy, sparking a rate hike debate.

flag Environmental group the Sierra Club has given Duke Energy’s Carolina operations an F in its 2025 “Dirty Truth” report, citing heavy reliance on natural gas and slow progress on solar and wind. flag The utility plans to add 3,620 megawatts of gas capacity by 2035, ranking it second among U.S. utilities, while failing to meet its 2030 coal plant retirement deadline. flag Fuel costs, driven by natural gas volatility, have contributed to two-thirds of recent bill increases for customers. flag The report warns that without viable clean tech like hydrogen or carbon capture, Duke cannot meet North Carolina’s 2050 climate goals. flag Meanwhile, Duke Energy Carolinas faces a proposed 8% rate hike, with public hearings underway to discuss the impact on consumers.
