History Duke Energy's roots began in 1904 when the Catawba Hydro Station opened in South Carolina, harnessing the water power of the Catawba River to provide electricity to the area's emerging textile industry. This would become the first plant of Duke Power, which was founded by James Buchanan Duke, Dr. W. Gill Wylie and William States Lee.
