Energy Efficiency Opt-Out Provision

What is the Energy Efficiency Opt-Out Provision?

Duke Energy’s Energy Efficiency Plan is one way we’re working to meet rising energy demand by helping our customers conserve energy. The plan encourages the continued development and implementation of energy efficiency conservation programs for our customers. The plan also provides certain customers the ability to opt out of participating in the Energy Efficiency Plan if they have already completed energy efficiency measures on their own, and meet the following eligibility requirements:

Duke Energy industrial customers and qualifying large commercial customers in North Carolina may notify Duke Energy that they have implemented or will implement alternative efficiency measures and may elect to not participate in our Energy Efficiency programs.
To opt out, complete the online opt-out form. Once the form is received, a qualifying customer will be exempt from the costs associated with the Energy Efficiency Plan. However, in doing so, you forego the opportunity to take advantage of all energy efficiency measures, which can improve your bottom line and lower your cost of doing business.
Before submitting a request for exemption from this valuable suite of energy-saving programs, we strongly encourage you to contact your Duke Energy Business Relations Manager.
