It conducts its business through three operating business segments. Duke Energy’s electric utilities and infrastructure segment provides retail electric service through the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 8.2 million customers within the Southeast and Midwest regions of the United States. Its gas utilities and infrastructure segment has over 1.6 million customers, including more than 1.1 million customers located in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee and an additional 550,000 customers located within southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky.
