Why PWC Is Adjusting Electric Rates: Reliability First, Always
PWC is a community-owned, not-for-profit utility dedicated to providing the best value for residents. Reliability is always PWC’s number one priority, and raising rates is only considered when absolutely necessary. As costs rise due to inflation and increased expenses, PWC has worked hard to implement cost-saving measures before making any changes to rates. Residential customers can expect a 6.5% rate increase in May this year. Even after this adjustment, our rates remain among the lowest in North Carolina, helping you keep your household expenses manageable.
Your bill supports essential upgrades to our electric system, like replacing aging equipment, expanding renewable energy resources, and maintaining the infrastructure that delivers dependable service every day. Thanks to these investments, you benefit from improved reliability and continued affordability.
PWC remains committed to keeping your costs as low as possible while ensuring your electricity is there when you need it.
