On October 3, 2014, Duke Energy Corp. (Duke Energy) reported that the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSCSC) has approved a settlement among Duke Energy Carolinas -the Company's subsidiary, the Office of Regulatory Staff and the S.C. Energy Users Committee (SCEUC) that is expected to increase the fuel charge for Duke Energy Carolinas retail customers in South Carolina. The Company informed that as a result of changes in fuel charge, the 1,000-kilowatt-hour (kWh) residential monthly bill is expected to increase by 3.1% or $3.21. Further, general service customers is likely to see an average increase in the fuel charge of 4%, lighting customers 2%, and industrial customers 6.2%. The hike in fuel rate is driven by under-collected fuel costs, partially offset by a deferral of recovery of a portion of the utility's projected fuel costs, as approved in the settlement. In addition, Duke Energy also deferred recovery of $18 million of the Company's projected fuel costs to reduce the fuel rate and the impact on customers during the one-year period beginning October 1, 2014.
