Duke Energy recently disclosed key milestones, marking a critical phase in its business integration process.

According to the latest arrangements, independent approval directives from regulatory agencies in various U.S. states are expected to be issued successively in the second quarter of 2026. This regulatory approval process is regarded as an important milestone in the corporate merger process. Meanwhile, the company’s management has clearly set January 1, 2027 as the target effective date for the business merger. The announcement of this timeline provides investors with a clear roadmap and also reflects the company’s meticulous planning in compliance advancement and strategic integration. The buffer period reserved between the two key dates fully takes into account the reasonable time required for regulatory approval and business transition.
