"Duke Energy went the extra mile by compensating us while we were gone. From pre-deployment to our return, overall Duke Energy is very supportive of the military and us. From my direct supervisor all the way up to my section manager, everyone went above and beyond."

— Nelson, S.C. Army National Guard
Security Officer, Oconee Nuclear Station

“Duke Energy makes it less stressful to be a citizen soldier. I am proud to be part of a company that allows me to serve in my community, for my country and for our allies. Not only does Duke Energy allow me to do so but they also fully support my efforts. Duke Energy understands what it means to help those in need.”

There a quite a few connections between Duke and the military.  From the structure of the organization, to the desire to respond rapidly to make sure the customer is supported to the self-less service shown by the workers to leave their homes, even when they may be impacted by an event, to go out and make sure others have the services they need.  All of these attributes are shared by Duke and the military.

Director of Emergency Preparedness 

“I was an Administration Supervisor before I retired so I was very familiar with communicating with people over the telephone and on the computer. I attended the recruiting event on Fort Bragg and the information Duke Energy military recruiters provided was spot on.  I followed the guidance they provided and was hired.  Duke Energy and the military are very similar when it comes to organization, documentation and taking care of its members.”

ShaDonna M, Retired US Air Force
Customer Service Representative

“Duke was such a great fit after transitioning from the Marine Corps. Duke provides stability and structure – something I became accustomed to during 10 years of service and four years of military college before.”
