Duke Energy's proposed rate case would cut solar export credits by 22%

The filing, if approved, would take effect for new interconnections starting next spring.

Duke Energy filed a rate case with state regulators this week that includes a reduction in the credit rate paid for exported solar generation, continuing a trend seen in several other utility territories this year.

If approved as filed, the change would apply only to systems interconnected after the effective date — existing customers would keep their current rate under a grandfathering clause included in the filing. A public comment period opens next month.
