Uniform Energy Rates for Seasonal Service.

HB 751 requires large electric utilities (serving at least 150,000 North Carolina customers by 2025) that already offer seasonal or intermittent energy rates in part of their service area to file a rate case by September 2025. This would extend those same seasonal rates to all eligible customers statewide, rather than offering different rates in different regions. The bill applies specifically to utilities with existing seasonal rate schedules, mandating a uniform statewide approach for those services. It does not change the rates themselves, only requires the utility to expand an existing rate structure to all customers it serves.
