Our Perspective

From population growth to the expansion of manufacturing and other major economic development wins, our region is booming. We’re already projecting eight times the load growth we anticipated just two years ago.

Replacing power previously generated by burning coal requires an “all of the above” approach – natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, energy storage, energy efficiency and demand-side management.

There are a lot of things to get excited about in the energy transition, and nuclear energy is among the top on the list.

In listening to the concerns and needs of the communities we serve, our customers have been clear: they support a transition to cleaner energy but want to protect reliability and affordability.

For many families, it can be hard to know where to turn when costs rise for essential services like energy and groceries. One answer to this problem is LIHEAP, the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

My first job out of college was with Teach for America. Teaching high school English in Warren County, N.C. is still my most challenging job to date, but it was unbelievably rewarding.

For the past two years, I’ve been incredibly honored to represent Duke Energy at the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference, also commonly referred to as the Conference of the Parties (COP).

With summer heating up and air conditioning systems running longer, electric bills will inevitably increase, so Stephen De May wanted to take this opportunity to share some resources that can make a difference.

The Duke Energy Foundation has spent the past year listening, learning and adjusting to stakeholder feedback on a variety of topics from pandemic impacts to environmental justice. These conversations have led to deepening our focus on root causes and system challenges while we also more strongly align our priorities with our company’s clean energy strategy and net-zero emissions goals.
