Rare greenhouse gas law in Southern state could get pulled back by GOP legislators
Last fall, the state Utilities Commission, which regulates rates and services for public utilities, accepted that it was “no longer reasonable or executable” for Duke Energy to seek the 70% reduction by 2030, pushing that deadline back by at least four years. Eliminating the interim standard likely would mean scaling back or delaying solar and wind energy production now and relying more on natural gas over the next decade, according to modeling from Duke Energy and a state agency that represents consumers before the Utilities Commission.
