Smart $aver® Programs

Why does Duke Energy incentivize its customers to use less of

its product?

• Reduces the need to build costly new generation facilities

• Earns a regulated profit*

• Strengthens our communities by making businesses more

profitable

• Helps attainment of governmental mandates

*Duke Energy will only earn incentives on the actual amount of energy saved, as measured

and verified by an independent third party. The company’s earnings opportunity is capped

and tied to the percentage of the target energy savings achieved.

EPACT (Energy Policy Act)

Federal tax credits are available for customers and extended through December 31, 2013

A tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot is available to owners or designers of new or
