Duke Energy customers are being hit with another rate hike.
INDIANA (WLFI) — Duke Energy customers are being hit with another rate hike. Â
This time, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved Duke's request for a 7.2% rate increase.
It's the second rate hike in a matter of months. The change goes into effect in October.
Duke Energy says the latest increase will cost average users more than $11 a month. The company cited higher-than-expected fuel costs that weren't in line with previous projections.
This comes after Duke requested, and state regulators approved, a 16% rate hike.
That went into effect in July.
