We talk with Duke Energy about your February heating bill and get tips if you're having trouble paying what's due.

If there's a most egregious disconnect right now between state and national policy and what reams of scientific evidence and countless common-sense observations tell us about the world around us, it's clearly in the realm of environmental protection and, in particular, climate change. As has been repeatedly and thoroughly documented, our planet currently faces an existential crisis that demands an urgent, all-hands-on-deck response from government at all levels, the private and nonprofit sectors, scientists, and average citizens. Unfortunately, as Newsline learned recently in an extended conversation with North Carolina League of Conservation Voters' clean energy campaigns director, Meech Carter, the perverse reality right now is that many corporate actors, along with the Trump administration, are moving in the opposite direction by loosening or eliminating anti-pollution rules and conservation efforts, expanding the use of expensive fossil fuels and sticking average ratepayers with the bill. In Part One of our recent extended conversation Carter, we explored the troubling fact that new actions by North Carolina-based electricity giant Duke Energy, are poised to both raise prices on average consumers and further inhibit critically important efforts to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. In Part Two of our chat we dug deeper into these issues by examining the troubling growth of so-called data centers, recent actions by the Trump administration to end federal regulation of pollutants that cause climate change, the critical need to rebuild western North Carolina better and stronger 18 months after Hurricane Helene, and why its critical that caring and thinking people vote in this year's elections if our state and nation are to return to the pursuit of sane environmental policies.

A conversation captured at the Construction Users Round Table.CURT members don't gather to admire the industry as it is, we gather to challenge it. Throughout the year, owners come together to wrestle with contracting strategies, team dynamics, technical risk, global pressures, and the realities shaping how projects actually get delivered.This is the Deliberate Words podcast, In this episode, I'm filling in for David Stutzman and joining Steve Gantner, leaders in Conspectus, the specification company….where words have a power that can create trust, transparency, and transform the process and can significantly impact the success of a construction project and team!At the September 2025 member meeting, we had the opportunity to bring The immersive collaborative experience to the room. LEGO bricks on the table, assumptions off the table. What followed wasn't just a workshop, it was dialogue. Candid. Constructive. Occasionally uncomfortable in the best way.Sitting down afterward with CURT members: Herb Strong of HazTek, Andy Browning and Fred Marsh of Duke Energy, and Nicholas Johnson of Kahua as participants, critics, colleagues, and friends reminded us why these conversations matter. As presenters, the feedback was invaluable. As CURT members, the reflection was even more powerful.And this is just the beginning.Next up: the CURT National Conference in Orlando, February 3rd. The conversations continue and only get better.

A Tale of Two Carolinas: Ice Inland, Warm Air at the Coast. Join the Carolina Weather Group for a special Saturday evening live update as a major winter storm moves across North and South Carolina. Host Sam Walker, along with James Brierton in Charlotte and Frank Strait in Columbia, break down the incoming freezing rain, sleet, and massive temperature divides impacting the region on Saturday, January 24, 2026.While the storm has slowed down due to a very dry air mass, a "big blob of junk" is moving in, bringing dangerous ice to the Piedmont and Upstate, and spring-like warmth to the Lowcountry.❄️ Key Takeaways from Tonight's Update:The Delay Explained: The storm is moving slower than anticipated because a very dry air mass is evaporating the precipitation before it hits the ground, but dangerous ice is still on the way for the overnight hours.Major Ice Threat: Areas along the I-85 corridor, Upstate SC, and the NC Triad/Piedmont could see a quarter to half-inch of ice accumulation.Power Outages Looming: Anything above a quarter inch of ice will cause trees and power lines to come down. Duke Energy and out-of-town contractor crews are already staged and ready to respond.Extreme Temperature Divide: We are looking at a 30-to-40-degree temperature difference across the states! Coastal areas like Charleston and the Outer Banks could see highs in the 60s and 70s with a risk of severe thunderstorms, while inland areas remain trapped in the 20s and 30s.Monday Impacts: Travel will remain hazardous. School districts, like Rock Hill, are already moving to e-learning for Monday.

Why do so many people still picture utilities as dusty infrastructure, monthly bills, and storm alerts, when in reality they sit at the centre of some of the most inventive work happening in our communities today? This question sets the stage for a conversation that opens the door to a world most listeners rarely see. In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I speak with Robb Dussault, Manager of Grid Edge Innovation at Duke Energy, who brings decades of experience in engineering, product development, customer programs, and safety innovation. Robb helps listeners understand how a modern utility actually works and why the future of energy depends on the ideas emerging from teams like his. From early work on hazardous switchgear to the rise of remote sensors, robots, drones, and even autonomous flaggers on road crews, Robb explains how practical questions about safety and reliability often drive innovation. He shares stories about customer research that shifted major programs, the growing influence of agile methods in a traditionally conservative field, and the value of checking every shiny idea against real human behaviour.  Listeners also hear how batteries, home energy storage, electric vehicles, and residential demand response are quietly reshaping the grid and changing the relationship between customers and utilities. Robb offers clear insight into how this shift toward interactive energy is accelerating far faster than most people realise. The conversation moves from early memories of intimidating power labs to a thoughtful look at what comes next for communities facing rising demand, new electrification trends, and pressure to deliver cleaner, more affordable energy. Robb shares his hopes for the next wave of innovation, the role of AI in sectors like healthcare, and why innovators in any industry should pay closer attention to customer needs before building ambitious pilots. It is a grounded, eye-opening dialogue that reveals the creativity and responsibility within the utility sector.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Something remarkable happened this year. For the first time in history, renewable energy generated more power than coal worldwide. Solar grew thirty-one percent in just six months. Wind and solar together outpaced electricity demand. China built more clean energy in half a year than the rest of the world combined. India's renewable growth beat demand. Their fossil fuel use dropped. Why? Simple economics. Wind and solar are now the cheapest sources of electricity. But here in America, we have a problem. Johns Hopkins researchers just discovered we'll fall thirty-four percent short of our clean energy goals by twenty fifty. Not because renewables cost too much. Because we don't have the materials to build them. Nickel. Silicon. Rare earth elements with names like neodymium and dysprosium. China controls ninety percent of the processing. And last week, they announced export controls. Meanwhile, in Britain... They're creating four hundred thousand clean energy jobs by twenty thirty. Plumbers. Electricians. Welders. Building wind farms. Installing solar panels. Running smart grids. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband put it simply: "Where are the good jobs of the future going to come from? This is the answer." The Sizewell C nuclear plant alone needs ten thousand workers. But here's the rub - they need to triple their welders, double their plumbers. The workers don't exist yet. Down in North Carolina... Duke Energy just announced a new plan. They're delaying wind projects. Extending coal plants. Not because coal is cheaper - it isn't. But because artificial intelligence and data centers are driving electricity demand eight times faster than expected. Glen Snider from Duke says they need reliability while demand surges. The irony? Duke's moving away from the cheapest new sources of power - wind and solar - just when they need the most electricity. They're choosing to extend expensive coal plants that cost more to run. Australia sees opportunity... Treasurer Jim Chalmers is in New York meeting with Blackstone and Wall Street. Australia has lithium, manganese, rare earths. They claim they can deliver the world's lowest-cost renewable electricity by twenty fifty. "Australia has exactly what the world needs, when the world needs it," Chalmers says. Think about this... The technology works. Solar and wind are cheaper than coal. Batteries can store the power. Countries using these technologies are seeing their energy costs drop. But America faces three bottlenecks: First, we don't control the materials. Second, we don't have the skilled workers. Third, states like North Carolina are choosing reliability over cost savings. President Trump calls renewables "a joke." But JP Morgan says something different. They say America will have to use renewable energy whether we like it or not. Nuclear takes too long to build. Fossil fuels cost too much. The numbers tell the story... Britain: Four hundred thousand new jobs. America: Seven hundred thirty gigawatts short of materials. North Carolina: Eight times the demand growth. Global renewables: Cheaper than coal for the first time. We're watching the free market work. The cheapest energy is winning worldwide. Except in places where politics and supply chains get in the way.

1020: What happens when the CIO responsible for powering AI also has to manage its energy demands? Richard Donaldson, SVP & CIO of Duke Energy, joins Technovation to discuss the unique position utilities now face: supporting exponential growth in data center power needs while simultaneously using AI to optimize grid performance, customer experience, and internal operations. In this episode, Richard and Peter explore: The intersection of AI and national energy infrastructure How one data center can require as much power as a nuclear reactor Strategies for responsible AI rollout and internal enablement Customer journey innovation in a highly regulated industry Why the utility CIO role is now central to digital transformation

Florida is emerging as one of the most promising new frontiers for data center growth — combining power availability, policy alignment, and strategic geography in ways that mirror the early success of Northern Virginia. In this episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent sits down with Buddy Rizer, Executive Director of Loudoun County Economic Development, and Lila Jaber, Founder of the Florida's Women in Energy Leadership Forum and former Chair of the Florida Public Service Commission. Together, they explore how Florida is building the foundation for large-scale digital infrastructure and AI data center investment. Episode Highlights: Energy Advantage: While Loudoun County faces a 600-megawatt deficit and rising demand, Florida enjoys excess generation capacity, proactive utilities, and growing renewable integration. Utilities like FPL and Duke Energy are preparing for hyperscale and AI-driven loads with new tariff structures and grid-hardening investments. Tax Incentives & Workforce: Florida's extended data center sales tax exemption through 2037 and its raised 100-megawatt IT load threshold signal a commitment to hyperscale development. The state's universities and workforce programs are aligned with this tech growth, producing top talent in engineering and applied sciences. Strategic Location: As a digital gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, Florida's connectivity advantage—especially around Miami—is attracting hyperscale and AI operators looking to expand globally. Market Outlook: Industry insiders predict that within the next year, a major data center player will establish a significant footprint in Florida. Multiple campuses are expected to follow, driven by the state's power resilience, policy stability, and collaborative approach between utilities, developers, and government leaders. Why It Matters: Florida's combination of energy abundance, policy foresight, and strategic geography positions it as the next great growth market for digital infrastructure and AI-ready data centers in North America.

Duke Energy's Andy Browning joins Dave and Steve to unpack how a modern utility balances today's demand spikes—especially from data centers—with tomorrow's low-carbon grid. Andy traces his path from Babcock & Wilcox field engineer to Duke's GM of Engineering & Construction Services, explains why Duke runs an “all-of-the-above” strategy (gas as a bridge, batteries for flexibility, solar growth, hydro upgrades), and makes the case that nuclear—both large units and SMRs—will anchor long-term reliability. The trio dig into dam stabilization, battery use cases (peak shaving and PV smoothing), project timelines and costs, community engagement, and how policy and tariffs shape what actually gets built. They close with a look at fusion research and a rapid-fire on bourbon, woodworking, and what fuels resilience.Key TakeawaysCareer & scope: Andy oversees engineering, construction, commissioning, quality, safety, and project controls for Duke's big builds.Cultural lesson: International work taught him to respect local pace and processes—context changes what “top priority” means.Hydro safety: Post-FERC reviews are driving earthen-dam rebuilds (compaction, drainage layers) to prevent liquefaction under seismic events.Resource mix: Duke is pursuing gas, nuclear, solar, hydro, and batteries; offshore wind unlikely near-term given costs and policy headwinds.Batteries' role: Great for peak shaving and smoothing solar variability; typical systems are 2–4-hour duration (e.g., 10 MW / 40 MWh).Scale & siting: Solar needs ~6–10 acres per MW and only delivers during daylight; data centers requesting 400–1,000 MW reshape planning.Timelines & costs (rule of thumb): Batteries ~12–15 months after development; solar similar; combined-cycle gas ~4 years; nuclear 10+ years.Cost reality: A 75-MW solar site ≈ $100–150M; a 1,000-MW gas plant ≈ ~$2B; nuclear is multiples beyond—but with long lifespans.Nuclear outlook: Expect SMRs + large reactors; challenges include qualified supply chains, workforce, and public education; existing units targeting 80-year life via extensions.Data-center surge: Demand is soaring; innovative financing/ownership models (e.g., behind-the-meter, cost-sharing) may protect retail customers.

On the 55th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) welcome Richard Donaldson, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Duke Energy. Richard explains how one of the largest regulated utilities in North America is embracing AI to reshape its digital infrastructure and accelerate enterprise-wide transformation. He shares concrete use cases, like Duke Energy Explorer for regulatory responses and generative AI authoring relicensing documentation, and conceptualizes a future where AI-powered drones and intimate co-pilots redefine operational productivity.Quick Hits from Richard: On strategic clarity for AI: “Everybody's waiting for me to say we did this AI thing straight out of a science fiction book, but the most valuable stuff doesn't always come with the spice.”On AI's impact at Duke: “We built a conversational AI that harvests data across hundreds of sources for regulatory Q&A. It's not banan, but it moves the needle every single time.”On business framing for AI usage: “We spent 2024 doing the unsexy work: protecting data, governing AI platforms. That was the homework. Now we're turning the page and going fast.”Book Recommendation: Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson—Like what you hear?

  Duke Energy. Most households in North Carolina pay their electric bill each month to the Charlotte-based energy giant. What many may not realize, however, is that there are two Duke Energies — Duke Energy Carolinas in the west and Duke Energy Progress in the east. And now, thirteen years after they first got together, […]

More than 100 of the world's largest energy companies are betting that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize how electricity gets made, moved, and managed. But they're not waiting for Silicon Valley to build it for them—they've taken matters into their own hands through an EPRI-led consortium. That initiative is the Open Power AI Consortium, which EPRI launched in March 2025 to drive the development and deployment of an open AI model tailored for the power sector. According to its mission statement, the Open Power AI Consortium “aims to evolve the electric sector by leveraging advanced AI technologies to innovate the way electricity is made, moved, and used by customers. By fostering collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, and technology providers, the consortium will drive the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to enhance operational efficiencies, increase resiliency and reliability, deploy emerging and sustainable technologies, and reduce costs while improving the customer experience.” “We're really looking at building an ecosystem to accelerate the development and deployment, and recognizing that, while AI is advancing rapidly, the energy industry has its own unique needs, especially around reliability, safety, regulatory compliance, and so forth. So, the consortium provides a collaborative platform to develop and maintain domain-specific AI models—think a ChatGPT tailored to the energy industry—as well as sharing best practices, testing innovative solutions in a secure environment, and long term, we believe this will help modernize the grid, improve customer experiences, and support global safe, affordable, and reliable energy for everyone,” Jeremy Renshaw, executive director for AI and Quantum with EPRI, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. Among the consortium's members are some of the largest energy companies in the world, including Constellation, Con Edison, Duke Energy, EDF, Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO), New York Power Authority (NYPA), Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E), Saudi Electricity Co., Southern Company, Southern California Edison, Taiwan Power Co., and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It also includes entities like Amazon Web Servies (AWS), Burns and McDonnell, GE Vernova, Google, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Interconnection Authority, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP), Khalifa University, Microsoft, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), PJM, Rolls-Royce SMR, and Westinghouse Electric Co. “For many years, the power industry has been somewhat siloed, and there were not many touch points or communication between global utilities, technology companies, universities, and so forth. So, this consortium aims to facilitate making new connections between these important and impactful organizations to increase collaboration and information sharing that will benefit everyone,” Renshaw explained. EPRI, together with Articul8 and NVIDIA, has already developed the first set of domain-specific generative AI models for electric and power systems aimed at advancing the energy transformation. Although the technology has not been released publicly, it will be made available soon as an NVIDIA NIM microservice for early access. This development sets the foundation for more to come.
