Utility Profit Oversight Act.

Summary

The bill would prevent the North Carolina Utilities Commission from approving any electric rate that increases a utility’s authorized rate of return on equity unless the General Assembly passes a specific act approving it. It also orders the Commission to suspend such rates while they await legislative approval and directs the Commission to study the cost of equity capital. The goal is to give lawmakers more direct oversight of utility profits.
