Duke Energy | October 08, 2020
As new electric vehicles (EV) enter the market and strong sales growth continues nationwide, the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSCSC) has approved two Duke Energy electric transportation (ET) pilot programs that will allow South Carolina to join other states in deploying EV infrastructure to meet the needs of this growing market. Originally proposed in 2018, Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress participated in extensive working-group sessions with stakeholders for feedback on the innovative plans. The approved programs – the first in the Carolinas – reflect the inclusion of much of that feedback, as well as agreements with the Office of Regulatory Staff and ChargePoint.

Power Electronics | August 27, 2021
The multinational Power Electronics continues to lead the global market for energy storage systems and is involved in more than 150 of the world's largest solar energy battery storage projects, creating 7 GW of storage. The most recent project to kick off was the plant in Florida which—with a total capacity of 900 MWh—is the largest solar-powered battery storage facility in the world to date.
In 2019, the United States consumed more renewable energy than coal for the first time since 1885. In 2020, this trend was reinforced by the impact of COVID-19, which led energy companies to buy less coal in favor or renewables. Power Electronics supports the country in its firm resolve to tilt the energy balance towards renewables and has become a benchmark thanks to a continued commitment to innovation in order to adapt to the needs of its customers and power grids.
This is why the company will participate in the largest renewable energy event in the United States, the Solar Power International conference and exhibition, which will be held in New Orleans (Louisiana), bringing together the major players in the sector.
Participation in the ACT Expo
Aside from energy storage systems, Power Electronics focuses its business on electric mobility. This is why it will also be at the ACT Expo, the most important electric mobility event in the United States, where it will exhibit its EV charging point solution, which is the most complete solution on the market due to its advanced features.
It's the only electric vehicle charging station on the market that integrates a transformer and medium-voltage cells into the same set of equipment—a turnkey, modular, flexible and extremely reliable solution for any scenario.
