Carolinas Resource Plan

Our Carolinas Resource Plan is Duke Energy’s proposed road map for building upon its diverse generation portfolio and maximizing the value of existing assets to maintain system reliability and minimize customer bill impacts.
 
Duke Energy operates robust, diverse and increasingly clean electric systems that serve over 4.8 million retail customers across the Carolinas. Our legacy of delivering reliable electric service begins with a commitment to long-term planning that powers customers’ lives and provides a foundation for economic vitality for the region. The Carolinas Resource Plan builds on that foundation, offering a cost-effective, forward-looking, and executable plan to meet the needs of existing and future customers.
 
The Carolinas Resource Plan is developed to meet the energy needs of our vibrant and growing region over the next 15 years in a manner that ensures reliability and balances costs while replacing aging assets with smarter and more efficient energy technologies. The Plan includes maximizing the value of existing resources, leveraging Grid Edge and customer programs, and adding new supply-side resources.

In this era of growing and dynamic energy demand, Duke Energy’s resource planning strategy remains the same – continue to ensure adequate resources to reliably meet power system demands through a diverse and increasingly clean generation portfolio.
