The bill would create a new felony charge for people who attack an energy facility. They’d face a $250,000 fine and up to eight years in prison.

The company says the additional revenues would go in part to make grid reliability and security improvements and help it collect more renewable energy.

EnergyUnited says that an alarm early Tuesday alerted it to an equipment problem at the substation in Randolph County, north of Charlotte. It said that crews found damage to the substation from an apparent gunshot.
