Tuesday, the map below shows Duke Energy’s outage report across the Carolinas. Duke Energy said it does not expect to have to use rolling blackouts again Tuesday night. “Whether you lost power from interruptions in service or conserved energy to help others, we are deeply grateful for your patience and understanding,” said Daniel Fain, Carolinas manager grid operations. A checklist serves as a helpful guide, but it's critical before, during and after a storm to follow the instructions and warnings of emergency management officials in your area. If your home or business is flooded, Duke Energy cannot reconnect power until the electrical system has been inspected by a licensed electrician. If there is damage, an electrician will need to make necessary repairs and obtain verification from your local building inspection authority before power can be restored.

The piedmont will see storms later, but most of the activity will remain along and north of uptown Charlotte. WCNC Charlotte has reached out to Duke Energy for further comment on the outages. The cause of these outages is currently unknown, according to Duke Energy. First responders are struggling with high call volumes as cold temperatures cause pipes to burst in homes across the Carolinas. Duke Energy said the extremely cold weather is creating an unprecedented demand for the system.
Residents were asked to conserve electricity as the company works to restore the remaining outages. Across the Carolinas, outages reported were around 170 impacting more than 4,000 customers. “Any remaining outages are either final repairs from the wind storm or new outages that have happened just as they do any day on the system,” a Duke Energy spokesperson told Channel 9 on Christmas Day. The energy company predicted a higher demand for Monday as people return to work in freezing temperatures. Duke Energy hoped that through energy conservation they can avoid rotating blackouts altogether. Customers don’t have to make any additional measures to conserve electricity as temperatures increase and power becomes more available.
