Duke Energy’s ready, with meteorologists, new power plants, and battery systems to handle the strain, and even offers credits for customers who cut back during peak hours. Industrial users like data centers are also required to participate. While buying power from other states is an option, it’s getting tougher as everyone battles the heat. Blackouts are the absolute last resort—only if every other measure fails. For you, Duke’s got simple tips: raise your thermostat a few degrees, use ceiling fans, and limit appliance use to beat the heat and save on your bill.
