Duke Energy serves 860,000 electric customers in SC, providing reliable energy and innovative solutions to power the state's growth and sustainability.
Last month, our @DukeEnergySC team from the Anderson Operations Center had the opportunity to participate in Career Day at Nevitt Forest Elementary School. Recently, we received thank-you letters from the students, and their sweet messages brought smiles to our faces.
Investing time in our schools and communities is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. We hope we inspired a few future lineworkers, engineers, and energy professionals along the way!
Thank you to the students and staff at Nevitt Forest Elementary for welcoming us and for the thoughtful notes. Your kindness made our day! 💙 @DukeEnergy #nevittforestelementary
Thanks to Derek Burress and #GoodMorningSumter for hosting Susan Wild and me this morning to talk all about the Touch a Truck: Storm Readiness event. Bring your family and join us on Saturday at the Sumter County Civic Center from 9 to noon for a fun, FREE event.
The Duke Energy Site Readiness Program includes detailed site assessments by partners in site selection and engineering to identify opportunities, address challenges and improve a property’s competitiveness before a prospect is on the table. That proactive work can help communities shorten timelines, reduce uncertainty and better position sites like Bailey for major industrial announcements.

Last week, Hope Remains Ranch benefited from the considerable efforts of my @DukeEnergySC colleagues. I’m so grateful for our volunteers who are willing to serve, connect with the community, and help create a place where encouragement and belonging can be experienced by all ages.
From lending a helping hand around the ranch to supporting opportunities for local children and families, their time and dedication made a meaningful impact.
Thank you to my @DukeEnergy coworkers for giving back and making a difference in our community!

“As we prepare to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary, I can’t help but think of our nation’s veterans who made this celebration possible.

Yesterday, I was proud to attend the job fair at the Greer Centre in Greer, SC! A big thank you to SCWorks and SCDEW for hosting such a well-organized event that connected so many people with valuable resources and career opportunities.
I enjoyed representing @DukeEnergySC and sharing information about billing assistance programs, as well as career opportunities available within @DukeEnergy and our contractor partners. Events like these are a great reminder of the power of community partnerships and helping people connect to opportunity.
A stronger energy future demands more than speed. Growing our communities and economy must begin with community trust, writes Duke Energy CEO Harry Sideris in @ACGlobalEnergy.
Duke Energy is taking an important step to explore additional tools to support reliable, affordable power for South Carolina families and businesses. Efforts like this help keep costs down while ensuring we continue building the energy infrastructure to meet future needs.
Duke Energy SVP Nelson Peeler testified before @HouseCommerce on how to reliably meet growing power demand at the lowest possible cost. Our experience in fast growing states shows how a vertically integrated model, long term planning, and customer protections deliver results.

Great work Trent and team! Indeed, this is one of a number of similar volunteer efforts this month by the @DukeEnergy team to celebrate #America250. And stay tuned for a big announcement - $275,000 big! - on Earth Day as we share info on grants to the great orgs across our state that focus on trees, trails, parks and trash all year long.
Yesterday a team from @DukeEnergy spent the morning cleaning up the area around Warpath Landing on Lake Keowee. This is just one of the ways we are celebrating #America250 and our commitment to the communities we serve.
