Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK ) is anything but a clean energy company. It owns 19 coal-fired power plants, 22 oil- or gas-fired plants, and seven nuclear�plants (the cleanest of the bunch), and is building more coal and gas�capacity right now. So, how did this company become a player in renewable energy almost overnight?
The utility and power plant owner followed Edison International (NYSE: EIX ) in making an equity investment in Clean Power Finance, a residential solar finance and service company. Clean Power Finance claims to generate the financing for 40% of the residential leases in the U.S. market ���s a major player in this emerging market Duke is getting exposure to solar it sorely needs.
Earlier this week, President Obama outlined his plans to fight climate change; a big part of that plan is to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, particularly from coal plants. That hits Duke Energy where its profit center is, as is evident by the company retiring the W.S. Lee plant, one of well over 100 coal plants to be shut down in recent years.
