Duke Energy Recognized Two Local Businesses With Power Partner Awards

The Power Partner award winners will be recognized at individual award ceremonies later this year. 

(Undated) - Duke Energy is naming a couple local businesses recipients of its Power Partner award.

The annual award recognizes Duke Energy customers for achieving exemplary results in sustainability, solutions innovation, community excellence, economic development and storm restoration.

Locally, Batesville-based Enbridge was awarded for updating its electric infrastructure, resulting in savings of over $2 million. As part of the project, Enbridge repurposed a Duke Energy transformer destined for retirement. Duke Energy was also able to forego replacing a transformer and was able to remove five miles of overhead power lines that were no longer needed.

Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport was also named a Power Partner award recipient for its economic development success. CVG is currently the fastest-growing airport in North America. In 2017, CVG helped recruit Amazon’s largest air hub to the airport, which will make it the largest employer in northern Kentucky.

“The innovation and achievements of our large business customers seem to grow exponentially each year,” said Chris Edge, vice president of large business customers at Duke Energy. “This year is no exception, as this distinguished group of award winners highlights incredible success stories that mutually benefit Duke Energy, our communities and the respective winning organizations.”

The Power Partner award winners will be recognized at individual award ceremonies later this year.
