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.
The company merged with Cinergy in 2006
and spun off Spectra Energy as a separate company on January
2, 2007.
