Duke Energy subsidiary Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) filed a comprehensive revenue requirement settlement in its North Carolina rate case, resolving key items including a 9.8% return on equity (53% equity component), a retail rate base of about $25.7 billion, and approximately $3.8 billion in capital under a multi-year rate plan. DEC also agreed to evaluate delaying its next base rate case until November 2028. The settlement will result in about $40 million in one-time pre-tax charges in 2026, treated as special items. The parties also agreed to pursue a similar framework for the Duke Energy Progress rate case.
