Bill > H751

This bill requires electric public utilities serving at least 150,000 North Carolina retail customers as of January 1, 2025, to extend any existing rate schedules for seasonal or intermittent service to all eligible customers statewide. Specifically, such utilities that currently offer special rates for seasonal or intermittent service in only a portion of their service area must file a rate case application by September 1, 2025, to make those same rates available to all customers they serve across North Carolina. The term "seasonal or intermittent service" likely refers to electricity rates designed for customers with variable or limited electricity usage, such as vacation homes, agricultural operations, or businesses with cyclical energy consumption. By mandating uniform rates, the bill aims to ensure equitable access to potentially more favorable electricity pricing regardless of a customer's specific location within the utility's service area. The act becomes effective immediately upon becoming law.
