Duke Energy said its 2024 net income available to Duke Energy Corporation (GAAP) increased primarily due to higher impairments on the sale of the Commercial Renewables business in the prior year. The company cited growth from rate increases and riders, improved weather and higher sales volumes as drivers, partially offset by higher interest expense, depreciation and storm costs, along with a higher effective tax rate.
