Under Lynn’s leadership, Duke Energy supports social justice and clean energy. This was particularly evident during the pandemic, where the company provided free power to those impacted by Covid. Duke Energy’s “long-term strategy to deliver an outstanding customer experience” by investing in the energy grid, cleaner energy and natural gas infrastructure “continues to guide us,” Lynn said at the time.
“As we look ahead, our transition to lower-carbon generating resources is important to our customers,” she added.
In support of this, Duke Energy’s Asheville combined-cycle natural gas plant, for example, adds more than 8,100MW of wind, solar and biomass to its portfolio. Duke Energy, under Lynn’s guidance, plans to double that amount by 2025.
Lynn has been President and CEO of Duke since 2013 and her leadership has seen substantial economic benefits created for communities, trailblazing the way to providing cleaner and smarter energy to meet the demands of a more digital-powered future.
