Duke Energy said that the North Carolina Utilities Commission has approved a request to lower residential customers' costs by 4.5%.
The company said that starting Dec. 1, rates for Duke Energy Progress residential customers in North Carolina fell by 4.5% as part of an annual adjustment for the cost of fuel used to generate electricity at the utility's power plants.
The company said that a typical residential customer in North Carolina using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month will see an overall decrease of $7.34, falling from $161.97 to $154.63.
Commercial customers will see an average decrease of about 6.3%, while industrial customers will see an average decrease of less than 0.1%.
Duke Energy Progress serves about 1.5 million customers in central and eastern North Carolina.
A similar decrease for Duke Energy Carolinas customers will go into effect Jan. 1, when rates for residential customers drop 3.6%.
