Duke Energy Business Services, LLC

Duke Energy Business Services, LLC is one of America's largest energy holding companies, delivering electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses across six states. The company serves 7.7 million customers and employs more than 27,000 people. Its origins trace to 1904 and the Catawba Hydro Station, from which its electricity delivery business grew.

The business spans electric power generation and delivery, natural gas distribution, and the operation and maintenance of energy infrastructure. Technical work covers power generation, grid modernization, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and hardening of equipment against severe weather. A grid upgrade and modernisation programme forms part of a planned investment of nearly $200 billion over the next decade, alongside the addition of renewable sources to the generation mix and programmes designed to help customers reduce consumption and cost.

Duke Energy frames its mission as keeping the lights on and gas flowing reliably and responsibly, with an emphasis on building a smarter, cleaner energy system. Employees work across electric and gas utility operations in the United States, supporting a customer base measured in millions and a capital programme intended to run over the coming decade.
