Is Duke Energy’s PowerPairSM Incentive Program still available for North Carolinians? It depends! Program capacity depends on which Duke Energy territory your home is in.
Duke Energy Carolinas PowerPair Status
As of March 20th, 2026, if you are a Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) customer there is capacity remaining in the PowerPair program for both the Net Metering Bridge (NMB) and Choice (TOU) options. We anticipate 2-3 months of availability based on current application rates for NMB and even longer if you opt into the Choice pathway.
Not sure of whether NMB or Choice is right for you? Our solar designers will walk you through what each of those pathways mean and how it will impact your system design and solar financials. Check out this resource for a quick dive into the difference. Regardless, if you want the most options for your solar incentives going forward, now is the time to reach out for a free evaluation.
Duke Energy Progress PowerPair Status
As of November 7, 2025, PowerPair incentive applications will no longer be accepted for the Duke Energy Progress (DEP) territory as all capacity has been allocated. Any applications received prior to Nov 7th will be placed on a waiting list in the event of any projects with reservations not moving forward.
If you are a DEP customer, don’t fret! You are still eligible to enroll in Duke Energy’s Battery Control incentive. This incentive offers a monthly bill credit worth up to $91 per month. Learn more here!
