What is an environmental emergency and how do I report it?
An environmental emergency is a sudden threat to the public health or the well-being of the environment such as an oil or chemical spill, or a vehicle accident resulting in the release of pollutants.Although Duke Energy investigates all reports quickly, sending us an email is not intended to provide emergency response. If you are reporting an environmental emergency, please contact emergency responders by calling 911.
Non-environmental customer service issues or concerns (e.g. vegetation management, tree trimming, utility equipment questions, billing, payments, start, stop or transfer service, other utility products and services, or outage and storm information) should be directed to Customer Service.
