The Energy and Policy Institute’s Sue Sturgis on changes in the world of electric utility regulation
Description
Energy and Policy Institute Research and Communications manager Sue Sturgis.
Duke Energy. Most households in North Carolina pay their electric bill each month to the Charlotte-based energy giant. What many may not realize, however, is that there are two Duke Energies — Duke Energy Carolinas in the west and Duke Energy Progress in the east. And now, thirteen years after they first got together, the two have filed documents with state and federal regulators to complete their merger into one giant utility provider. So, what does this mean, what is Duke saying and what happens next? And how will all of this interact with a new state law that allows Duke to delay its carbon reduction goals?
Recently Newsline got a chance to pose all these questions and more to a journalist and researcher who has followed the state’s electricity industry for many years — Energy and Policy Institute Research and Communications manager Sue Sturgis.
