CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – The current CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy is retiring after the first quarter of 2025, and her replacement has already been named.
CEO Lynn Good will step down from her position, effective April 1, giving way to Harry Sideris, who has been with the company for 29 years and currently serves as its president.
Sideris was chosen to take over for Good following a multiyear selection process.
“In an era of growth and rapidly evolving customer demands, Harry’s experience in operations, customer service, strategy, and stakeholder and regulatory engagement makes him the ideal choice for CEO,” Duke Energy executive Ted Craver said.
Sideris became the president of the company in April 2024 and has been an important leader in Duke’s electric and gas utilities. The company said his past experience includes a variety of customer, operations and regulatory leadership roles.
