Duke Energy and its subsidiary Piedmont Natural Gas completed the sale of Piedmont’s Tennessee natural gas local distribution business to Spire for $2.48 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The sale closed on March 31, 2026 under a previously disclosed Asset Purchase Agreement.
Piedmont’s unaudited pro forma 2025 statement of operations shows total operating revenues of $1.911 billion and net income of $887 million after giving effect to the transaction, reflecting an estimated gain of about $693 million. Pro forma adjustments include eliminating the Tennessee business, repaying $800 million of company debt and recognizing related tax effects.
Duke Energy’s press release explains that approximately $800 million of proceeds will reduce Piedmont debt, while about $1.5 billion of net proceeds will help fund a $103 billion, five‑year regulated capital investment plan to meet growing energy demand and manage customer costs.
