Duke Energy contributes to energy storage research

Duke Energy will contribute $1 million to fund research on energy storage in Indiana.

Duke and the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor will partner with the Battery Innovation Center in southern Indiana on the research as part of a 2012 regulatory settlement.

Duke’s contribution will pay for research into how battery storage can make the best use of energy generated by rooftop solar panels or small wind turbines.
