  • When heavy rain threatens to swell the Catawba-Wateree River, Duke Energy must act quickly to help protect nearby communities. At the center of those decisions is a nondescript office in northeast Charlotte, N.C. — known as the Regulated Renewable Operations Center (RROC) — where a small but vital team oversees a diverse portfolio of renewable energy. As the RROC celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, the team reflects on the advantages of remotely monitoring and managing nearly all the company's renewable energy assets.

  • "The Hall of Fame honor is very humbling. But my goal has always been to make sure increased chances exist for others." - James Bowden Today, we celebrate the remarkable journey of James Bowden, the first Black inductee into the International Lineman’s Hall of Fame. James is a third-generation Duke Energy employee, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, John Bowden, who was the first Black American employee hired in 1905 as an ironworker to assist with building the Great Falls Hydro Station. James's career is marked by groundbreaking achievements and a relentless drive to support and mentor future lineworkers. His dedication to advocate for others and train the next wave of lineworkers through his work with Denmark Technical College are just a few examples of his lasting legacy.

  • In the energy business, weather forecasting helps determine how much power needs to flow across the grid to keep homes and businesses powered. A heat wave or cold snap in our service areas means customers will likely consume more energy to keep temperatures comfortable at home. Weather also impacts reliability as poor conditions can cause outages or limit availability from renewable sources like solar and hydro. Our team of in-house meteorologists gives us the read on the weather to help forecast energy demand and plan for hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. Florida State University alum and former TV news meteorologist Colleen Peterson shares her experience as the newest member of our team of meteorologists.

  • New technology patented by Duke Energy can simulate how the electric grid will operate in the future – down to customers’ needs to power behind-the-meter devices like electric vehicles. By creating a computer model of key grid components – power lines, transformers and more – the platform can identify potential problems or operating constraints that could affect customers, and proactively resolve them using a diverse mix of solutions. “This patent is about optimizing the grid to reduce impact to customers now and in the future,” said John Pressley, managing director of clean energy digital strategy.

  • Duke Energy today announced its participation in a multi-joint public-private application for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. Gen III+ small modular reactor technology grant. If awarded by the DOE, the grant, which is being led by Tennessee Valley Authority, will support Duke Energy’s new nuclear strategy by joining with other utilities and technology providers to more cost effectively advance a standard technology design and license, while learning best practices from others in the industry who are also pursuing new nuclear technologies. The goal is to continue to reduce technology risks and costs for the benefit of our customers, communities and investors. Learn more: http://spr.ly/6048aipBu.

    President, Duke Energy Regulated Utilities

    Big news today. I have been given the opportunity to lead Duke Energy as its next CEO and president, starting April 1. I’m humbled by the trust the board has placed in me to lead this great company and incredible team of professionals who have a passion for serving our customers and communities across the seven states where we operate. At a time when energy needs are rapidly evolving and growing, our mission of providing safe, reliable and affordable power in all seasons and circumstances is perhaps more important than ever, and I am blessed to be a part of it. I’m also grateful to follow the exemplary leadership of Lynn Good, who for more than 11 years, brought an inspiring vision to Duke Energy that left us well positioned to capture the many opportunities that lie ahead for us. She has led us masterfully to what is arguably one of the most dynamic times in the history of energy and I have learned so much from her. I want to thank our employees, investors and the many stakeholders we work with each day to power our communities, and for the guidance and confidence they have placed in me over my nearly 30 years with Duke Energy. I look forward to the future we’ll be building together.

    Chair and Chief Executive Officer at Duke Energy Corporation

    After more than 11 fulfilling years as CEO of Duke Energy, and nearly 20 years at the company, I am retiring from Duke Energy on April 1. I am being succeeded by Harry Sideris, a close colleague and respected long-time company leader who will serve as the company’s next president and CEO. It has been the honor of my lifetime to lead Duke Energy, where I’ve been fortunate to be part of a team inspired by a compelling mission: powering the lives of our customers and the vitality of the communities we serve. Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to all the employees, investors and other stakeholders I’ve worked with across the country to positively impact the lives of millions through that mission. Of course, this moment is bittersweet, but I know this is the right time for the company and for me to take this step. Duke Energy is in a strong strategic position and has a world-class team. In Harry, a nearly 30-year veteran of the company, Duke Energy has a leader of immense skill and integrity to lead it into its next chapter – I have no doubt the company will be in great hands with him. I have learned more than I could’ve ever imagined from my time here, and I’m looking forward to supporting its success as it thrives in its next chapter.
