Duke Energy Plan Includes New Gas-Fired Plants, Nuclear Additions, Delayed Coal Retirements

  • Coal
  • October 2, 2025

Duke Energy announced plans to build more natural gas-fired generation capacity and look at nuclear power in order to meet the increased demand for power in its Carolinas service territory. The utility also said it will delay the retirement of some coal-fired facilities as it seeks to increase the supply of electricity for data centers and manufacturing plants.

The post appeared first on .

Duke Energy’s most recent gas-fired power plant built in the Palmetto State is the W.S. Lee Station in Anderson County, South Carolina, which began operating on April 5, 2018. The 750-MW combined-cycle natural gas plant powers up to 600,000 homes using high-efficiency technology that captures exhaust heat to generate additional electricity. The company’s newly proposed 1,400-MW hydrogen-capable combined-cycle plant—announced in June 2025 for a site in the same county—will mark Duke Energy’s first new generation project request in South Carolina in over a decade.
