 In the News Center, I'm Tyler Cobb. Duke Energy Carolina has got the green light to increase its rates after approval from the Public Service Commission. The energy company put in for a rate review request back in January. It's all to cover costs for investments made for system reliability, such as upgrades to power plants and poles. The increases will range from 4.4% to 8.7% on average. In a statement by Duke Energy South Carolina, they say it marks the first base rate increase requested by the company since 2018.
