Subject: [EXTERNAL] Duke Energy Op-ed - Al Energy Demand - Secretary Wright Quoted
Good morning - I wanted to share the below op-ed from Duke Energy's CEO, Harry Sideris which discusses how our company is meeting the moment when it comes to energy demand for Al.
Nation's largest utility grid operator CEO: The Al revolution is here, and Duke Energy is
ready I Duke Energy I illumination
In particular we wanted to highlight the quote from Secretary Wright at the beginning of the article.
"President Trump has made it clear: America will win the global Al race - and we will do so decisively. At the root ofAl supremacy lies American energy dominance. As Energy Secretary Chris Wright said, ''Al transforms electricity into the most valuable output imaginable: intelligence." Energy dominance protects our national security, fortifies and accelerates America's economic future and prioritizes technological innovation. It also ensures our country can not only power the Al revolution but also maintain the reliability of service Americans deserve and keeping energy prices as low as possible."
The op-ed is also on Harry's Linkedin and Duke Energy's X account.
Please let us know if you have any questions or if I can be helpful in any other way.
Thanks, Annelise
