“Texas Parks and Wildlife has accomplished a lot at San Jacinto
Battleground over the past few years. Restoration, revegetation, interpretation
and construction projects have become realities, thanks to our partners.
Some of our partners donate materials or money. Other partners donate
volunteer labor. Duke Energy contributes both. TPW and Duke Energy are
not just partners; we’re members of a team, and in some ways, that’s
the most valuable donation of all!”

“After Isabel ripped through, Gloucester was left powerless
and gloomy. We wouldn’t have gotten power as fast as we did if
it weren’t for your crews. I thought my family was not going to
have power for a month. We got it in a week! Thank you so much for all
you did.”

“During the massive power blackout in August 2003, Union Gas
personnel were able to assist OPGI in sourcing and supplying natural
gas to the Lennox Generating Station near Kingston, Ontario. By ensuring
natural gas was available, the station was able to continue to operate
and contributed to meeting the electricity needs of Ontario consumers
during a very difficult time.”

“Over the last 10 years, the Capital City has enjoyed tremendous
economic growth, placing a great demand on the infrastructure. One of
the City’s greatest assets is the power plant. In 1996 the City
of Dover became partners with Duke Energy for the management and operation
of that plant. I can honestly say that was one of the smartest decisions
this City has ever made to protect that asset.”
James L. Hutchison, Mayor
City of Dover, Del.

energy to our customers, every day.”
