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

Duke Energy and TotalEnergies will pay a combined $315 million to lease 110,000 acres off North Carolina that could produce 1.3 GW in offshore wind.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a bill that would have prohibited cities and counties from banning natural gas hookups in residential construction.

A proposed agreement between Duke Energy and solar advocates would lower the net metering rate residential rooftop solar owners receive for their excess power.

Renewable power advocates are concerned by concessions N.C. legislators made to utilities in return for the carbon-reduction goals of House Bill 951. 

The industrial revolution saw certain industries "cluster" regionally. Now, U.S. hydrogen advocates are talking about "hubs" in the same way.

PacifiCorp will receive $6.42 million in Department of Energy funding for a “connected communities” pilot project in Utah, one of 10 projects nationwide.

As H951 sits on Gov. Cooper's desk, the NCUC continued its examination of Duke Energy's IRP with a session on the increasing complexity of grid planning.

A bill in the North Carolina legislature would authorize the Utilities Commission to “take all reasonable steps” to achieve a 70% reduction in carbon.

South Carolina sent the utility back to the drawing board for IRP revisions, while North Carolina looks to changes for Duke's 2022 IRP.
