The North Carolina Utilities Commission largely approved Duke Energy’s proposal to update its net energy metering rules for residential rooftop solar customers.

The North Carolina Utilities Commission approved Duke Energy's first carbon plan to comply with state law calling for carbon neutrality by 2050.

Duke Energy sees the U.S. clean energy transition as providing growth and profit drivers for its regulated utility business.

North Carolina is using $30.1 million from its share of the Volkswagen settlement to replace “some of the dirtiest diesel buses in the state.”

Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina will receive $36 million in federal and private-sector funding to support offshore wind training programs.

Duke Energy put a “for sale” sign on its 3.5-GW commercial renewable business, saying it wants to focus its capital on regulated spending.

Solar installers in North Carolina agreed to a phased reduction in net metering rates under a compromise with Duke Energy that is now before state regulators.

Solar advocates celebrated the defeat of a Florida bill that would have phased out the state’s net metering program but warned the battle is far from over.

Rooftop solar is a good start, but it will take careful design of utility rates to ensure electrification comes with carbon reductions, industry officials say.

Duke Energy filed a proposal with the North Carolina Utilities Commission that presents four broad paths to reducing carbon emissions by 70% by 2030.
