Thanks, the article helped me understand what was really going on. Wonder who wrote the headline which created a different impression?

Duke's high charges were first revealed in yesterday's editions of
the Charlotte Observer. Duke also sought to shift some of the
blame to the state by asserting that it offered California long-term
contracts for power at $50 per megawatt hour but Davis turned
them down.

More accurately, what occurred was that Duke asked the governor
and the Public Utilities Commission to loosen restrictions on
long-term contracting so the state's utilities could contract with
Duke, but government officials declined.
