Retirees
Duke Energy retirees are an active, integral part of the company, and are some of Duke Energy’s most significant ambassadors in the communities we serve. The Duke Energy retiree program provides a network of support where retirees can come together to participate in special projects, learn about latest company news and enjoy fellowship. The program incorporates 23 retiree chapters in the Carolinas and a growing number of chapters in the Midwest region.Retirees utilize their experience and skills to make a positive difference in the lives of many. Partnering with schools and nonprofit organizations like the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, United Ways, Senior Centers, Hospice and so many others, their perseverance and dedication helps these organizations meet the critical needs in their communities.
Volunteering is a focal point of the retiree chapters. In 2006 alone, chapters in North and South Carolina collectively reported 242,050 volunteer hours. In monetary terms based on the national average value of one volunteer hour, this was a return on investment of approximately $4,366,582 to our communities.
