Duke Energy reaches settlement on combining Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress

Duke Energy reached settlement agreements with the North Carolina Public Staff, the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office and other intervenors on a proposed combination of Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress. If approved by regulators in North Carolina and South Carolina, the combination would consolidate the two utilities and includes a commitment to track and annually report customer savings to state regulators. Duke Energy said the settlement guarantees hundreds of millions of dollars of future customer savings over a 14-year period, including operational efficiencies and changes to long-range planning such as removing 200 megawatts of battery storage. The company cited modeling in its 2025 Carolinas Resource Plan projecting about USD 2.3 billion in customer savings from 2027 to 2040.
