NORTH CAROLINA, USA — Duke Energy provided an update on Thursday, Oct. 3 about its efforts to restore power in North and South Carolina after the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. The energy company said 90% of customers in North and South Carolina will have power restored by Friday, Oct. 4.

Hundreds of thousands of Duke Energy customers in the Carolinas were still without power Wednesday in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which caused severe flooding and destruction in parts of the region.

Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE: DUK) is making progress in its efforts to restore power to customers in the Carolinas in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The Charlotte-based utility said it still has 455,000 customers there without power after the devastating storm.

We’re seeing historic damage from this storm on a scale that many of us have never seen in western North Carolina in recent memory,” Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said.

Despite some residents around Western North Carolina getting power back, many more are still in the dark after Helene.

There are lots of areas across the South Carolina Upstate and North Carolina mountains where we’re going to have to completely rebuild parts of our system, not just repair
