Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Not disclosed
Medium-term Goals:
  • Meet North Carolina’s renewable energy portfolio standard, 3 percent of retail electric sales by 2012
  • Retire North Carolina coal-fired plants that do not have scrubbers (totaling approximately 1,500 MW) and replacing them with new combined-cycle natural gas plants by the end of 2014
Short-term Goals:
  • Improve the overall performance of our nuclear plants
  • Accelerate Continuous Business Excellence
  • Optimize our Balanced Solution Strategy

Environmental Challenges

  • The United States’ electric power system is at the front edge of a long-term transformation. It is being driven by new governmental policies, technological developments and aging facilities, as well as by changes in our economy and customer behavior.
  • This transformation will require retiring older coal-fired plants, modernizing the electric grid and investing in clean energy facilities that range from large nuclear plants to small renewable-energy projects.
  • Making these changes will require enormous capital investments that will be reflected in what customers pay for electricity.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Advocating that we work in a collaborative way with policymakers and regulators to manage this transition in a cost-effective, orderly way.
  • A flexible, balanced approach to energy and environmental policy that minimizes the cumulative cost impact on customers and maintains the reliability of service that underpins our economy and way of life.
  • Strategic merger with Duke Energy to better manage the transformation occurring in our industry and hold down some of the rate pressure on our customers.
