Not worth getting frustrated over laws and regulations that you can't change, but may benefit you or your communities.
In MA and NY, the regulators mandate public programs be paid for by electrical consumers. Some of these are worthwhile, others are just a source of money for consumer education and savings programs.
Since Duke is regulated by the state regulator, they are not charging you because they just decided to, they are being forced to bill you and distribute the money to the proper authorities for their use, because the regulator told them they had to bill you . .
Since its the middle of the year, and regulators are all on the calendar year, it may be a catch up for the year to date, and then a much smaller amount monthly for the rest of the year.
You are living in a time period where there has been an inflation impulse, and it's a bit of a different environment than the last 10 plus years. . but more like the 70's, remember those bill increases?
