Duke Energy has placed the 10 megawatt (MW) Ebbie Solar project into service in Marion, S.C., marking the first project in the state to operate under its updated Green Source Advantage program. The milestone comes as Duke Energy’s Renewable Choice program exceeded initial enrollment targets in 2025, reflecting strong demand from large commercial and industrial customers for flexible access to clean energy.

Green Source Advantage Express (GSA Express), Duke Energy’s newest clean energy program for large business customers in North Carolina, has surpassed initial enrollment targets, highlighting strong demand for flexible, streamlined access to renewable energy across the state.

As customers see higher energy bills during the winter months, Duke Energy is addressing common misconceptions about what’s driving costs higher and sharing ways customers can better manage energy use, payment options and available assistance.

With the Carolinas experiencing an unusually long period of freezing weather and preparing for more, including possible accumulation of snow in some areas, heating systems are working harder. To help customers manage their energy usage and costs during these extended cold temperatures, Piedmont Natural Gas reminds customers about tips, resources and assistance programs.

Prolonged below-normal temperatures are pushing home energy use higher across the Carolinas – and higher use can mean higher bills. Duke Energy is sharing practical steps and flexible options to help customers manage costs during this cold stretch.

As a surge of winter cold sweeps in, Duke Energy is committed to helping customers manage energy costs during the coldest months of the year. Historically, January is the peak for energy use as heating systems work harder to keep homes comfortable. The colder it gets, the more energy is required – making now the perfect time to take action.

Beginning in January, Duke Energy will implement changes to customer bills that reflect investments made to recover from the historic damage from Hurricane Helene, strengthen the grid against storms and outages, maintain and upgrade its power generating fleet, and serve a growing customer base while supporting economic growth in South Carolina.
