By 2030, demand for electricity in the United States is expected to grow by approximately 25%. In the past, utilities like Duke Energy would build new power plants to keep up with the rising demand for power. But building new power plants is expensive, and each takes years to complete. Plus, new power plants can have a negative impact on our environment.
The cleanest, most efficient power plant is the one we never have to build. If we can help our customers save energy — and save money in the process — it can reduce the demand for new power plants.
