We can all breathe easier thanks to nuclear energy. With zero carbon or methane emissions and millions of watts produced, nuclear energy is the cleanest source to generate an enormous amount of electricity.    To put it into perspective, over the...

Earth Day began in 1970 as a “teach-in” to educate communities about the importance of the environment. Like Earth Day, what would become the nuclear fleet for Duke Energy was just emerging. While the connection between Earth Day and Duke Energy’s fleet...

Out of sight, out of mind. Unless you work for an electric utility, you probably don’t think a lot about where your electricity comes from. But, you should. More than a quarter of the electricity Duke Energy generates comes from a unique source –...

Throughout the year, our energy education centers host events to provide students with opportunities to learn about science. Due to social distancing measures in play due to COVID-19 (coronavirus), these activities cannot take place as they normally would in person. But the learning and experimenting doesn't have to stop! Now, students can participate in a week's worth of experiments from home.

Lake Keowee holds the cool, clear mountain waters that comprise the headwaters of the Savannah River basin. With 18,500 surface acres and 300 miles of shoreline, as well as Duke Energy’s Oconee Nuclear Station, Keowee Hydro Station and Jocassee Pumped...

With Earth Day quickly approaching, we collected a few of our favorite articles related to environmental stewardship around our nuclear plants.

Out of sight, out of mind. Unless you work for an electric utility, you probably don’t think a lot about where your electricity comes from. But, you should.

No single energy source can meet all of our electricity needs. Despite the significant contributions from shale gas and renewable resources, nuclear power remains a key strategic energy source for the future to reduce carbon dependence and ...
