DUKE ENERGY 2006 SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT 27
Challenging conventional wisdom
Our customers want us to solve the new energy equation, and our track record
gives them confidence that we can do it. They want better information about
their own energy use and more options to control it. For Duke Energy, that
means not only providing our customers with electricity, but also showing them
how to personalize their energy use. That’s our commitment.
We will start by digitizing our electric distribution and transmission grids.
These huge networks already link meters, transformers, substations and other
technologies with a communication and control infrastructure. By taking our
mostly analog distribution grid and converting it to a digital network, we can
create an information-rich communication system. Our plan is to create the
“utility of the future.”
