Duke Energy Asks FCC to Stay AT&T Pole Rate Complaint Pending Arbitration
The utility says FCC should pause the complaint while parties privately dispute the issue.
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2026 – Duke Energy Carolinas is urging the Federal Communications Commission to halt AT&T's pole attachment rate complaint.
In a brief filed Wednesday with the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau, Duke said the parties’ 1978 joint use agreement requires private dispute resolutions “concerning matters pertaining to” the agreement, including AT&T's recent challenge to the pole attachment rates Duke charges in North and South Carolina.
