Duke Energy Corporation has signaled a willingness to reevaluate its coal operations in response to potential changes in federal pollution regulations under a new Trump administration. Chief Financial Officer Brian Savoy disclosed that if Trump proceeds with plans to dismantle existing pollution rules, the utility may consider a shift in strategy regarding coal-fired power plants. Specifically, they may assess the viability of converting some units in Indiana to utilize natural gas alongside coal.

Savoy noted that the energy transition could be influenced significantly by regulatory shifts. The current trend is already complicated by increasing power demands fueled by an uptick in data center activity, new manufacturing facilities, and a broader movement toward electrification within the United States. Given Trump’s history of supporting fossil fuel initiatives and promising to reverse pivotal federal policies that advocate for renewable energy, the move away from coal might slow down if such policies are rescinded.
