The increase won't be as high as once thought

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 an article today on Tampabay.com: 

"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."
