Figures we withheld
We found these referenced somewhere, but could not confirm them at the administering agency's own current page. We would rather show you nothing than a number that may have expired.
- Wood Stove Changeout Program (Western NC + Mecklenburg) — Figures confirmed on Duke Energy's own domain, BUT the release is dated 2018 and states funds are limited; the live application page 404'd. Currency could not be confirmed, so this is excluded from publication despite having primary-source figures — a stale figure on a YMYL page is the exact failure mode the plan forbids.
| Program | Status | Amount | Source | Verified as of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No North Carolina incentive programs are currently published. We remove any figure we cannot re-verify rather than leave it stale — see our methodology. | ||||
