Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Severance | SEVERANCE During 2023, as Duke Energy transitioned from the foundational work of energy transition strategy planning to the launch of the largest power generation build period in its history, the Company streamlined certain functions and changed how it was structured and staffed to ensure the resulting organization reflected best-in-class standards, was optimally aligned with its jurisdictions, and was best positioned to serve customers, stakeholders and investors. As a result, Duke Energy extended involuntary severance benefits to certain employees in specific areas as a part of its organizational optimization. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Duke Energy recorded severance charges of approximately $97 million within Operation, maintenance and other on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges, along with amortization of severance-related regulatory deferrals and the reversal of certain prior period severance costs, resulted in a total severance charge of $102 million in 2023. The following table presents the direct and allocated severance and related charges accrued by the Duke Energy Registrants within Operation, maintenance and other on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
