Feb 23, 2022 · New to the area, first time homebuyers. So we moved to a house in the 27603 area back in October '21. We noticed that last November, Duke Energy included a ~$6 charge for a streetlight. When we called them, they said that it's for a streetlight on our property.

The only figure on the entire report that is likely to be based on anything is the total kwh I've used -- Duke Energy certainly has that information. If you're like me, the email also says "Your Profile is 0% complete" and "Complete every part of your Home …

It’s still delivered through Duke’s lines but is generated by another company. The process is relatively seamless and you still pay the bill the same way.

The demand peak argument is currently not relevant, especially as Duke Energy Progress produces about 33% of energy with NG. Fluctuation of consumption during the day is less than that. Hence the solar output currently saves them NG 1:1.

For me, Duke Energy's Budget Billing algorithm is broken. The problem started in March of '21 when Duke Energy started lowering my monthly payments throughout the year by about 20%. There was no change in my usage or rate. Naturally, this resulted in a deficit, and I received a bill for about $600 to settle the deficit.

May 8, 2023 · This must be somewhat new. I got my EV last year in February 2022, and Duke Energy was doing absolutely nothing at all for EV owners at that time. My brother-in-law is an electrician, so I didn't pay any labor for my charger install. I just paid for a …
