Duke Picks Davie County for 2 Gas Plants, Davidson for LNG Facility

In January, MDN broke the news that Duke Energy was eyeing a 1,360-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant on 1,600 acres in Davidson County, North Carolina (see Duke Energy Considers 1,360-MW Gas Plant for Davidson County, NC). In April, we updated it: Duke actually wanted two such plants, and had a second candidate site directly across the Yadkin River in Davie County (see Duke Energy Considers 2 New Large Gas-Fired Power Plants in NC). Duke said back then that a final decision wouldn't come until late 2026 or early 2027. Surprise! The decision landed today, and Duke didn't pick one site over the other. It's using both.
