Power & your bill

4,500 MW of new demand — roughly a city of 3,600,000 homes.

Large new loads can raise transmission and capacity costs that land on every ratepayer. Residential power in NC is 16.0¢/kWh, up 8.1% year-over-year. (MW→homes is a rough ~800/MW planning figure.)

Process

Demand a full, public review — not a rubber stamp.

Ask for an independent noise study, a water-and-power impact assessment, enforceable conditions (setbacks, hours, cooling type), and that the record stays open for written comment. Procedural shortcuts have voided approvals elsewhere.

Public comment (editable)

Edit freely before sending — it's a starting point. Add your own story; personal comments carry the most weight.
