Energy Modernization

Duke Energy finalized a $6 billion deal with Brookfield, giving Brookfield a 19.7% stake in Duke Energy Florida (DEF). This partnership injects $4 billion into DEF’s $87 billion five-year capital plan to meet growing energy demand. Valued attractively, the deal raises Duke Energy’s FFO/Debt target by 100 bps to 15%, supporting a 5-7% EPS growth through 2029. Duke Energy retains majority ownership and operational control, with no workforce or leadership changes planned for DEF.
