Duke Energy also encourages those residents to follow instructions from local emergency officials. If a power line falls across a car that you are in, stay in the car. If you MUST get out of the car due to a fire or other immediate life-threatening situation, do your best to jump clear of the car and land on both feet. Be sure that no part of your body is touching the car when your feet touch the ground. Stay away from power lines that have fallen or are sagging.

CHARLOTTE, NC – Thousands of Duke Energy crews are working to restore power to thousands of customers in North Carolina and South Carolina following Hurricane Ian. WCNC Charlotte has reached out to Duke Energy for more details on when power is expected to be restored to the various areas around town without power. Power for most customers in the city of Charlotte has been restored, according to the utility. Over the weekend, Duke Energy said it was able to restore power for 934,096 customers across North and South Carolina. Duke Energy was named to Fortune’s 2023 “World’s Most Admired Companies” list and Forbes’ “World’s Best Employers” list. Individuals who live along lakes and rivers and in flood-prone areas should pay close attention to local media for changes in rising water levels.
According to Duke Energy, the power lines that came down were a primary line, which means the company had to take some additional customers offline in order to fix it. The power has since been restored, but at its height, at least 6,000 Duke customers were impacted by this power line damage. (QUEEN CITY NEWS/PINPOINT WEATHER) – As severe weather rolled through our region Monday evening, outages were being reported by Duke Energy. More than 850,000 customers lost power during the storm. As of Saturday morning, crews completed nearly 500,000 restorations; more than 400,000 in North Carolina and 76,000 in South Carolina.
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.
The company expects to restore power to most customers by the end of day. For the hardest-hit areas that experienced extensive damage due to flash flooding and tornadic activity, restoration may take more time. However, crews will not stop until all those who can receive power are back on. It's been a rough day for power lines, as earlier on Friday, a section of Freedom Drive is closed in west Charlotte due to downed power lines, officials said.
