Company research

Business Overview Duke Energy Corporation (DUK) is a primarily regulated U.S. utility holding company that generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity and also provides natural gas local distribution (including via Piedmont Natural Gas), earning the vast majority of revenue through state-regulated retail rates and related approved riders. It operates mainly through regulated electric utilities in the Carolinas, Florida, and the Midwest and regulated natural gas utilities primarily in the Carolinas/Ohio/Kentucky, with additional regulated-like infrastructure investments. Market Position Duke Energy is one of the largest U.S. investor-owned regulated utilities, with large, growing service territories and significant rate base investment plans focused on grid modernization and cleaner generation; its scale, diversified jurisdictions, and vertically integrated utility footprint (generation-to-delivery) are key differentiators. The company has been transitioning to a more fully regulated profile following divestitures of unregulated renewables businesses. Key Segments Duke Energy reports two primary business segments: Electric Utilities and Infrastructure (EU&I) (regulated electric utilities plus transmission/infrastructure investments) and Gas Utilities and Infrastructure (GU&I) (regulated gas utilities plus storage/midstream/RNG investments), with corporate/other items reported separately.
