Duke Energy South Carolina

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.

We're proud to help strengthen and protect South Carolina green spaces by partnering with organizations who can help care for the Palmetto State now, so future generations can enjoy its beauty. @DukeEnergy

@DukeEnergySC was proud to be part of Family Night and Duke Energy Science Night at Lewisville Elementary School in Richburg, South Carolina! ⚡🔬 From administrators to students and parents, everyone had a fantastic time diving into hands-on STEM activities and learning together. Moments like these remind us how powerful curiosity and community can be! 💡 It was also fantastic to have teammate, Jackie Whiteman, help out with the activities! #STEM #Community #DukeEnergy #FutureInnovators

Caiya and I are ready for @DukeEnergy Science night at the new, beautiful Lee Central Elementary School in Bishopville. The parents and students were lined up at the door, ready to explore STEM activities.

Duke Energy in conjunction with state and county officials will conduct outdoor warning sirens tests today, April 1, around all Duke Energy nuclear plants. This testing is part of normal maintenance to make sure sirens are working properly. Today’s siren test will be a “Growl” test lasting from five to 30 seconds. Follow-up testing of individual sirens may be necessary after the regularly scheduled siren maintenance tests are complete.

Duke Energy will test outdoor warning sirens tomorrow, April 1. No public action is required.

@DukeEnergySC Science Nights continue to make a meaningful impact across South Carolina, now entering their fifth year since launching in 2022. The program has grown significantly, expanding from 50 to 60 schools receiving STEM kits this year—made possible through increased support from the Duke Energy Foundation. This growth reflects both the rising demand from schools and a shared commitment among program partners to ensure equitable access to high-quality STEM learning opportunities. By reaching more students and communities, @DukeEnergy Science Nights are helping spark curiosity, inspire innovation, and empower the next generation of problem-solvers across the state. @DE_RyanMosier @JiranRick @HannonLS @trentacker @TheoLane13 @tyson_notchickn indexjournal.com/news/building-…

In this two part special report, @SCETV host Gavin Jackson examines the future of #energy in South Carolina. Duke Energy’s Tim Pearson joined Gavin at the @DukeEnergy Robinson Nuclear Plant in Hartsville, S.C. Robinson was the Southeast’s first #nuclear power plant and has been a 24/7 reliable, cost-effective workhorse for the company’s customers and Pee Dee communities since 1971.
