Duke Energy on Monday reported a $1.6 billion charge related to abandoning the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The utility also laid out how its renewable energy and grid modernization plans will fill in the capital-investments hole left by the canceled multibillion-dollar natural-gas project.
Duke reported a second-quarter 2020 loss of $817 million, or $1.13 per share, with the pipeline cancellation costs taken into account. Excluding those one-time losses, the multistate utility reported non-GAAP net income of $809 million or $1.08 per share, compared to $1.12 per share in the same quarter last year.
