Duke Energy's growth strategy is rate-base growth through grid modernization, transmission, distribution, new generation, nuclear reliability, gas infrastructure, and clean-energy investment. The company is trying to match customer growth and reliability needs while moving toward a lower-carbon generation mix over time.
Duke Energy makes money through regulated electric and gas utility service. Regulators approve rates intended to recover costs and provide a return on capital invested in generation, transmission, distribution, gas infrastructure, storm response, and grid modernization. Fuel and purchased power costs are often recovered through separate mechanisms rather than retained as ordinary margin.
Cinergy, Progress Energy, and Piedmont Natural Gas are the major deals that shaped modern Duke Energy.
No major pending acquisition is reflected here.
The deals matter because they expanded Duke's regulated customer base, generation fleet, and gas utility exposure.
