Elizabeth City Council approves new electric rider

Electric costs will soon climb further for Elizabeth City residents after the city council unanimously approved another electric rate rider at its Nov. 9 meeting. On top of a rate increase that Elizabeth City Council approved in June — 5.5% each year through 2031, or 27% in total — residents have also been paying several “rider” charges on their monthly electric bills. One of those riders expired over the summer, but another remains in effect through 2027. Now, citing a strained Electric Fund balance due to a combination of factors city officials said at a previous work session last month that they have no choice but to pass another rider of $3.74 per 1,000 kilowatt-hours on to residents, partly because the latest rate projection missed the mark. That analysis, conducted with ElectriCities and Raftelis, forecast a monthly expense of $50,000 for a 2025 Rider 1 “true-up” assessed by Duke Energy Progress. The actual cost over the next 12-month billing cycle will be $85,000 per month, higher than the city anticipated. “As you know, we buy wholesale power [from Duke Energy Progress], and that power’s cost is estimated before we purchase it,” said City Manager Reginald Goodson. “The ‘true-up’ is when
