Carolina Utility Customers Association, Inc.

The energy voice in North Carolina for industry and manufacturing

E N E R G Y

We’re here to preserve the viability of our industrial and manufacturing members through advocacy for affordable and reliable energy services throughout North Carolina.

Our primary focus for the industrial community is to secure reliable, affordable energy for our members. Energy prices are going up and directly impact manufacturing’s competitive advantage. In a global economy, manufacturers must compete and produce products at the lowest cost. If production costs are lower elsewhere, manufacturing may relocate facilities. The cost of electricity matters to a company’s bottom line – that concern is magnified when one state’s energy costs are out of line with neighboring states or regions.

We work to ensure that manufacturers in North Carolina attain energy at the lowest possible rates, because lower costs helps keep them competitive. Our goal is to keep manufacturing and the resulting jobs, tax base, and industrial expansion in North Carolina. More capital at the disposal of our members means more options to grow their businesses.
