Duke Energy has met today’s expected peak energy demand in the Carolinas, thanks in part to customer efforts to conserve power after the weekend’s arctic blast affecting power generation and delivery in much of the country.

Duke Energy is crediting its customers’ energy conservation with helping keep the lights on for everyone on Christmas Day and is asking customers to continue implementing simple conservation measures until 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 26.

Duke Energy asked customers to conserve energy usage as crews restored power following rotating outages in the Carolinas in response to high-energy demand Saturday morning.

The regional electric grid operator, PJM, has asked for voluntary energy conservation from their member utilities, including Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky, during this extreme weather.

Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) and Duke Energy Progress (DEP), like a number of other utilities, have urged customers to conserve their usage and in some cases, the company is implementing load shedding steps that include interruptions in service.

As extreme temperatures drive unusually high energy demand across the Carolinas, Duke Energy is requesting customers to reduce their energy use for the next 24-hours.
