IEEFA webinar: What’s wrong with Duke Energy’s plans for new gas-fired power plants in the Carolinas?
Discover how Duke Energy’s Carolina integrated resource plans (IRPs) over-rely on gas-fired generation while largely ignoring renewables-based options ⎼ a recurring oversight in utility planning efforts in the U.S.
Log in Thursday, April 15th at 1:00 p.m. EDT for an accessible deep-dive with IEEFA energy analyst Dennis Wamsted who will explore current plans and discuss alternatives.

- Assessing the need for new gas projects;
- Challenging the financial assumptions behind such projects; and
- Proposing alternatives, including renewables, storage and energy efficiency.
