Duke Energy Utility Merger and Tax Credit Deal Set to Deliver Over $5 Billion in Savings South Carolina regulators approved Duke Energy’s plan to combine Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress into a single utility, with customer savings estimated at about $2.3b between 2027 and 2040.
Duke Energy also finalized a multi-year agreement to monetize up to $3.1b in net tax credits, including nuclear and solar production tax credits.
Combined, the utility consolidation and tax credit monetization are expected to deliver more than $5b in total cost-saving benefits to customers and communities.
For you as an investor, the approval in South Carolina marks a key regulatory step for Duke Energy’s plan to operate its Carolinas utilities as one combined system. The company frames the merger as a way to meet growing regional power demand more efficiently, while committing that the projected customer savings are guaranteed and trackable, backed by shareholder commitments. The plan still needs approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission, which Duke Energy expects to seek with a target effective date of January 1, 2027, and a decision anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
The separate tax credit monetization agreement, covering up to $3.1b in net credits tied to nuclear and solar production, adds another layer of cost relief. For investors, this package of regulatory and tax actions reflects a focus on managing customer bills, funding ongoing energy transition projects, and maintaining regulatory relationships, especially in the Carolinas where Duke Energy has a large footprint. How these measures translate into future capital spending plans, allowed returns, and rate structures will depend on upcoming decisions from North Carolina regulators. Bekanntmachung • Apr 08

Duke Energy Announces Approval for New Natural Gas Generation Facility in Anderson County Duke Energy received approval from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to construct new natural gas generation in Anderson County, a project that will help support the energy needs of a growing region while significantly contributing to the community's economic success in the years ahead. The approval comes after a thorough and very public process that included a public hearing in Anderson before the PSCSC. In addition, Duke Energy invited members of the community to participate in two open house events where company experts shared details of the project, answered questions and collected feedback. Why it matters:South Carolina is one of the fastest growing states in the nation. As populations grow and businesses relocate to or expand in the state, new and diverse sources of energy are needed to power that growth. That's why state leaders enacted the Energy Security Act in 2025, to provide a comprehensive path forward for energy policy that will guide South Carolina's continued success for many years to come. Committing to building this modern energy facility in Anderson County is a critical piece of that strong energy future for the region. According to a survey by Ernst & Young, the project is expected to support more than 2,200 jobs annually during the multi-year construction period, with 746 construction jobs located in Anderson County. Once operational, the facility is projected to have an annual $84 million impact statewide, supporting 125 jobs and $10 million in annual labor income. The project will be one of the most efficient natural gas plants on Duke Energy's system and will include environmental control technologies to minimize plant emissions. The facility will use 90% less water than traditional wet cooling technology, will not have a vapor plume, will eliminate the need to treat water chemically, and will have a longer life span than prior natural gas technology. Central Electric Power Cooperative and North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation will own 95 megawatts (MW) and 100 MW, respectively, of the combined cycle's approximate 1,365 MW nominal capacity. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2027 and the facility would serve customers by early 2031. Bekanntmachung • Mar 09

The application, if approved, would extend the plant's operations for an additional 50 years. A flexible, dynamic, efficient and emission-free way to store and deliver large quantities of energy, pumped storage hydro plants store and generate energy by moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations. Located in Oconee County, S.C., Bad Creek is designed to produce significant amounts of energy when customers need it most, performing a vital role as the largest "battery" on the company's system since 1991.Duke Energy recently completed upgrades to the four units at the Bad Creek pumped storage facility in Salem, S.C. The upgrades add a total of 320 megawatts of carbon-free energy to the company's system, increasing the total capacity of the station to 1,680 megawatts. This commitment to relicense the Bad Creek facility reflects the investments the company is making to maintain and enhance generating fleet and serve a growing customer base. Next steps: The current operating license for the project expires in July 2027 and Duke Energy consulted with more than 70 stakeholders to propose a new license that would run for another 50 years. Duke Energy expects a decision on operating license application from FERC in 2027, before the original license expires. Upcoming Dividend • Aug 08

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Renews the Operating Licenses for Duke Energy's Oconee Nuclear Station for an Additional 20 Years The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission renewed the operating licenses for Duke Energy's Oconee Nuclear Station for an additional 20 years. The approval of its subsequent, or second, renewed licenses enables Oconee, located in Seneca, S.C., to operate through 2053 and 2054, supporting the company's "all of the above" strategy to deliver a path to cleaner energy while protecting reliability and affordability for customers as regional electricity demand continues to grow. Nuclear generation is a vital part of Duke Energy's generation portfolio and is the only clean energy source that is always on and available 24 hours a day. Maintaining safe and reliable operations is Duke Energy's primary focus, and the company invests heavily in maintenance and upgrades at its nuclear facilities to ensure they can operate through midcentury. At Oconee, the company has replaced its reactor vessel heads, steam generators, turbines, transformers, pumps, valves and other equipment to support longevity. In 2024, Oconee added a combined 45 megawatts by implementing power uprate improvement projects on all three units. Nuclear energy has safely and reliably provided electricity to Duke Energy's Carolinas customers for more than 50 years. In 2024, its six plants provided more than 50% of Carolinas customers' electricity and more than 96% of the company's clean energy. Duke Energy's nuclear sites benefit customers and communities by reliably generating large amounts of electricity with low operating costs, while also providing thousands of well-paying jobs and producing economic and tax benefits for local communities. The federal nuclear production tax credit incentivizes the existing plants, like Oconee, to operate as cost-efficiently as possible, further lowering the cost of nuclear energy for the customers. Nuclear energy has and will continue to play an essential role in meeting Duke Energy's customers' rapidly growing and evolving energy demands. The company's expertise in and commitment to the continued safe and reliable operation of its existing nuclear plants are foundational to Duke Energy's energy transition. Bekanntmachung • Mar 18
