Duke Energy Corporation

Duke Energy Senior Vice President Nelson Peeler testified before the House Energy & Commerce Committee on how America can reliably meet growing power demand while keeping costs as low as possible. Drawing on Duke Energy’s experience serving some of the fastest growing states in the country, Nelson explained how strong customer protections—along with our vertically integrated model that allows us to plan, build, and operate the entire energy system—help deliver reliable outcomes for customers while keeping rates below the national average and electric rate increases below the rate of inflation over the past decade.

400 of our top leaders gathered in Charlotte this week for the Duke Energy Leadership Conference to connect, learn, and align on what it will take to lead through change.

The scale and speed of energy demand is changing our industry. Our Chief Financial Officer, Brian Savoy, recently attended BloombergNEF Summit New York to discuss how Duke Energy is responding. By investing now, we are strengthening grid reliability, supporting economic growth, and helping manage long‑term costs for customers. We are using every tool available to build a more reliable energy system for the future. #BNEFSummit

Substation work is a critical part of delivering power to homes and businesses. Chris Wells has been doing it for 15 years, with safety checks and strict processes at the center of the work. #ThankALineworker

For National Lineworker Appreciation Day (4/18), we want to thank the lineworkers who show up for our customers every day. Your work strengthening the grid and restoring power after storms keeps families, businesses and communities running. We’re grateful for your skill, dedication and commitment to the job. #ThankALineworker https://lnkd.in/e5_R8yWc.

For Joshua, being a lineworker means reliability, preparation and showing up when it matters most. From upgrading equipment to responding to outages, every job comes back to one goal: keeping power on for our customers. #ThankALineworker

As a relay tech, Meredith and her team strengthen the system year‑round through maintenance and upgrades, with safety guiding every job. Their work supports a stronger grid and dependable energy for our customers today and into the future. #ThankALineworker

Lineworkers are the people behind the power, building and maintaining the electric grid so families and businesses can count on dependable service every day. That includes transmission work that often happens out of sight. A third-generation lineworker, Austin has spent 17 years at Duke Energy, helping maintain and rebuild the structures that deliver reliable power to our customers. #ThankALineworker

In recognition of National Lineworker Appreciation Day on April 18, we are spending the week spotlighting the teams and roles that support linework across our system. We are kicking things off with Michael, whose work in substations helps keep electricity flowing safely to our customers. #ThankALineworker

A hands-on field trip can do more than teach science. It can open doors. For students from Clarendon County, South Carolina, a visit to the World of Energy and Bad Creek Hydroelectric Station turned curiosity into discovery. From building edible atom models to traveling hundreds of feet underground inside a hydroelectric powerhouse, students saw firsthand how electricity is generated, and how science, technology, engineering and math power communities every day. Early exposure matters. Experiences like this help young people see what’s possible, spark interest in STEM careers, and build pathways to a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. https://lnkd.in/ejBX56ir.
