Duke Energy has announced a 2028 construction start for two 1,360 MW combined-cycle gas plants in Davie County, North Carolina, and an LNG storage facility in Davidson County. The LNG facility will be the company's largest to date. This announcement provides a clear timeline for Duke's natural gas infrastructure expansion, following site selections earlier this year.
The projects align with Duke's strategy to balance renewable energy growth with natural gas investments, addressing regional energy demand and grid reliability. However, they are likely to face scrutiny from stakeholders concerned about emissions and the long-term viability of natural gas in the energy mix.
Why it matters: This update solidifies Duke Energy's timeline for expanding its gas-fired capacity, a critical component of its energy strategy. The developments will impact regional energy markets and competitors such as Dominion Energy and Southern Company, while shaping regulatory and stakeholder discussions around natural gas infrastructure.
