Large-load tariff for data centers: what is on file, the terms the filings state, and where each fact comes from. Terms a filing does not state are marked, never guessed.

Applies at50 MW or more of firm load (Peak Contract Demand reasonably expected at or above 50,000 kW at any time in the term)
What the filing saysPENDING, CONTESTED. Docket 20260064-EI: Duke's April 22, 2026 petition (read in full) asks for a Large Load Customer Policy (LLCP) and Large Load Customer Agreement (LLCA). Minimum term 20 years from permanent service, which may include a load ramp period. Minimum demand of 75% to 85% of annual contract capacity, plus a minimum energy volume at a load factor of no less than 60%; billing demand is the highest of the month's demand, 90% of the prior 12-month peak, or the minimum demand. Two years' written notice to terminate. Early termination before full ramp costs Duke's incurred costs; afterwards it is three years of minimum bills plus the net book value of the customer-funded facilities. Security (letter of credit from an A-/A3-rated bank, cash, or parent guaranty) of at least 10% of the termination amount, higher for weaker credit. Customers pay CIAC up front, refundable over five years. No new rate is set: service is under the existing GSD-1 or GSDT-1 rate until the next rate case. The Public Counsel and others argue the filing does not comply with the 2026 statute; a hearing is expected.
