Join us for the Carbon Plan Hearing on Wednesday, April 10 at 7:00 pm at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in uptown Charlotte. The Charlotte hearing is one of four in-person hearings being held across the state to take public comment on Duke Energy’s proposed changes to the NC Carbon Plan originally approved by the Utilities Commission in December, 2022.

On April 10th before the Charlotte hearing, a press conference and rally will be held at 5:00 pm behind the Courthouse, 832 E. Fourth Street.

The Carbon Plan significantly impacts every North Carolinian – from air quality and public health to economic opportunities and environmental sustainability. Organizers intend to use the rally to call out the NCUC and their lack of power against Duke Energy thus far.

Speakers at the rally will discuss the negative impacts the updated Carbon Plan will continue to have on BIPOC and low-income individuals already struggling to pay their energy bills. Community leaders and energy advocates will share insights on how North Carolina communities can build a collective voice. Attendees will walk away with actionable steps to voice their concerns and shape the plan’s direction during this public comment process.
