CHARLOTTE — Duke Energy announced on Monday that its board of directors appointed a new president and CEO, effective April 1.
Harry Sideris, a 29-year company veteran, succeeds Lynn Good, who will retire from her management and board roles in April after more than two decades of service. Sideris has served as president of Duke Energy since April 2024. As president, he has successfully led Duke Energy’s electric and gas utilities, including operations, customer services and delivery, economic development, regulatory and legislative affairs, and grid and generation strategy.
“I am honored and excited to assume the leadership of Duke Energy at this dynamic time for our company and industry,” said CEO-elect Sideris. “I’d also like to thank Lynn for her leadership and guidance over the years. The valuable position that we’ve attained under her leadership, the opportunities before us, and our employees’ steadfast commitment to our customers and shareholders make our future bright.”
“After a multiyear and comprehensive CEO-succession process, we are delighted that Harry will become our next president and CEO. Harry’s nearly three-decade-long record of extraordinary accomplishments makes him uniquely qualified to lead Duke Energy,” Craver said. “In an era of growth and rapidly evolving customer demands, Harry’s experience in operations, customer service, strategy, and stakeholder and regulatory engagement makes him the ideal choice for CEO. On behalf of the board, I want to congratulate Harry and look forward to him and his leadership team building upon the company’s strong momentum.”
