Electric & Magnetic Fields
Much has been written about electric & magnetic fields (EMF). In fact, studies have been performed in this area since the early 1970s. However, the studies so far have yielded only inconsistent findings.We continue to fund and support vigorous research efforts in conjunction with other electric utilities and research institutions. At Duke Energy, we take the health and safety of our customers and employees very seriously.
Every year, we contribute financially to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), which funds about 40 percent of the world’s EMF research. We have joined other leading energy companies in supporting federal funding with the hope that those dollars will help accelerate the research process.
Until more conclusive results are reached, we invite you to review our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about EMF. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us. We’ll put you in touch with an EMF contact.
