• On July 17, 2026, Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (DEC) filed a Comprehensive Revenue Requirement Settlement with the Public Staff – North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) and other intervenors.
• This settlement relates to DEC’s application for adjustment of rates and charges and for Performance Based Regulation (PBR) filed with the NCUC on November 20, 2025.
• Key terms of the Comprehensive Settlement include a 9.8% return on equity (based on a 53% equity component in the capital structure) and a retail rate base of approximately $25.7 billion for the historic base case.
• Approximately $3.8 billion of capital in the multi-year rate plan (MYRP) along with an annual MYRP refund mechanism were also agreed upon.
• DEC agreed to evaluate the potential to delay its next base rate case filing until no earlier than November 1, 2028, provided the NCUC grants deferral of costs of certain new generating assets.
• The Stipulations are expected to result in one-time pre-tax accounting charges of approximately $40 million for DEC in 2026.
• Intervening Parties also agreed to pursue good faith settlement discussions in the ongoing Duke Energy Progress (DEP) rate case proceeding to reach a substantially similar settlement framework.

This comprehensive revenue requirement settlement filed by Duke Energy Carolinas may provide clarity on the regulated subsidiary’s future financial framework in North Carolina. The agreed-upon return on equity and retail rate base are critical components that could influence earnings stability. Furthermore, the potential deferral of the next base rate case filing suggests a period of predictable regulatory terms for the company’s operations.
