Rates Will Go Up In 2012 For Progress Energy Customers

Customers of Progress Energy can expect to see higher bills next year. However, the Public Service Commission decided to give customers a bit of a break by delaying the repayment of some nuclear costs.

According to a St. Petersburg Times article today: 

"The average bill is projected to rise by about $4.25 to $123.26 a month for 1,000 kilowatt hours, down from the $6.11 increase Progress had requested."
