  • Elliott Investment Management Sends Letter to Board of Directors of Duke Energy Corporation
    Media Contact: Stephen Spruiell Elliott Investment Management L.P. (212) 478-2017 [email protected] Elliott Investment Management Sends Letter to Board of Directors of Duke Energy Corporation Outlines Plan to Create At Least $12 to $15 Billion of Line-of-Sight Near-Term Value for Shareholders Calls for New Independent Directors and Strategic Review to Explore a Tax-Free Separation into Three Regionally Focused Utility Companies Believes Separation Drives Meaningfully Improved Operations and Execution That Will Benefit Duke’s Customers and Shareholders West Palm Beach, Florida (May 17, 2021) – Elliott Investment Management L.P. (“Elliott”), which manages funds that have an investment in Duke Energy Corporation (“Duke” or the “Company”) that make it a top 10 investor in the Company, today sent a letter to Duke’s Board outlining a plan to create $12 to $15 billion of line-of-sight near-term value for shareholders. Elliott explained that this value upside is based on observable publicly traded market valuation metrics of Duke’s closest peers and does not incorporate meaningfully higher valuations realized in recent transactions in Florida and Indiana, which would result in several billion dollars of incremental value. In the letter, Elliott argued that Duke’s long-term underperformance has not been reflective of its high-quality assets and that the Company should explore a separation to increase operational focus and improve performance. Elliott’s plan proposes that the Company commence a strategic review to explore a separation into three regionally focused entities: (1) the Carolinas; (2) Florida; and (3) the Midwest, each of which would be headquartered in the region it serves.

    2018 CLIMATE REPORT NiSource Stakeholders: I am pleased to share with you the 2018 NiSource Climate Report, which describes our journey to achieve our aggressive greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, along with several of the risks and opportunities associated with climate change. In serving nearly 4 million natural gas and electric customers across seven states, our operating companies share common commitments – to safety, customer satisfaction, reliable and affordable service, and sustainability. We’re openly and transparently engaging our customers, our communities and all our stakeholders in long-term planning to meet these commitments. In October 2018, after months of detailed discussions with stakeholders, our Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) subsidiary announced the Your Energy, Your Future plan, a balanced, gradual, and orderly process to retire all our coal-fired electric generating units by 2028 and to begin replacing them with new lower-cost, cleaner energy sources, including wind, solar and battery storage. We envision a brighter future in three important ways: by focusing on the long-term strength of our local economies; delivering the best cost, most balanced, and reliable energy our customers need; and reducing emissions to improve our environment. NiSource is targeting a 90 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (compared to 2005 levels) from operations by 2030, an industry-leading step consistent with the Paris Climate Agreement. In our natural gas business, we are targeting a 50 percent reduction in methane emissions (compared to 2005 levels) from natural gas main and service lines by 2025 through our well-established priority pipe replacement programs. We ask you to join us on this journey by participating in our energy efficiency and other customer-focused programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Columbia Gas Companies, Nisource
    AUTOMATICALLY KNOWING WHO’S NiSource: CLOSEST TO THE CUSTOMER Columbia Gas OVERVIEW NiSource Gas Distribution operations provides natural gas to more than 3.3 million residential, commercial and industrial customers via 60,000 miles of pipeline in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Indiana and Massachusetts. During normal business hours, the Columbia Gas companies of NiSource rely on a mobile data solution for scheduling and dispatching. After normal business hours, the utility employs a cloud-based automated callout process to locate responders and crews available to work in an emergency. CHALLENGES • Before 2011, the order of callouts, as is the case with most utilities, was based on a combination of things, including overtime hours and worker seniority. Dispatchers poured over lists to reach available workers for after-hours events. • Dispatchers might, on average, find an available technician 40 percent of the time “With ARCOS, a after the first call. In the other 60 percent of cases, a dispatcher might call three more dispatcher gets a people for each event, at two minutes per call , to find one available technician. response immediately... • Managers wanted to map the location of available technicians relative to a customer this saves an additional in need. The technician’s drive-time to the emergency was rarely taken into account when deciding whom to call. Mapping the distance as “the crow flies” wouldn’t four to six minutes.” help dispatchers or responders determine the closest available resource. • The closest technician wasn’t always the one in the highest state of readiness. If a technician lived eight miles from a customer in need but the technician living 10 miles away was in a higher state of readiness, Columbia Gas wanted to choose the person located slightly farther away.
