With weather forecasters predicting high temperatures across the Carolinas this weekend and next week, Duke Energy has tips to help you take control of your energy use while keeping you and your family cool.

The Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Duke Energy Florida for its tree care practices by naming the company a “Tree Line USA” utility for the 19th year in a row.

Throughout the month of April, Duke Energy is highlighting the importance of sustainability of our state’s natural assets with $375,000 in grants to organizations that manage and provide support to state and local parks, tree planting and advocacy, trail maintenance and litter prevention.

With the summer months and sweltering temperatures quickly approaching, Duke Energy Florida is highlighting EnergyWise Home, a voluntary program that rewards customers with up to $141 in annual bill credits for enrolling select appliances – central air conditioning units, electric water heaters and/or pool pumps – and allowing the company to temporarily cycle those appliances off during periods of high electricity demand.

Duke Energy Florida is sharing various resources to help customers manage their increased energy usage in January, when extreme winter weather swept across the state, which may have resulted in some receiving higher-than-average electric bills.

Following colder-than-usual winter weather in the Sunshine State, Duke Energy Florida is encouraging customers to complete a free Home Energy Check (for residential customers) or Business Energy Check (for commercial customers), allowing them to reevaluate their energy goals and take advantage of available rebate programs that can save them money in the short term and continue reducing their electric bills for years to come.

Duke Energy crews and grid operators successfully managed record-breaking power usage while generating and delivering reliable service to customers during an extended period of sustained cold temperatures.

With prolonged freezing temperatures, Duke Energy continues executing a detailed plan to manage the power grid as customer demand increases.

As the Carolinas experience sustained freezing temperatures, Duke Energy wants customers to understand the significant impact it can have on bills.
