As electricity demand continues to rise across the US, Duke Energy is increasing its investments in domestic suppliers to help secure the equipment needed to support the country's energy network.
The strategy reflects a wider focus on strengthening energy supply chains, improving resilience and ensuring the utility can continue delivering reliable power to growing communities.
As utilities respond to rising demand, ageing infrastructure and an evolving energy landscape, securing dependable domestic manufacturing has become an increasingly important priority.
Duke Energy, one of the largest energy holding companies in the US, is headquartered in North Carolina.
The company supplies electricity to 8.7 million customers across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, alongside gas services for 1.6 million customers.
