Duke Energy
Q3The Q2 2026 call and both 2026 releases stay on one surface: the self-healing grid. No optimisation narrative appeared, so the old needs-research Shield becomes Spear. The shape is proposed.
Duke Energy's occupied cell is still the self-healing grid. In Indiana in 2025 it avoided 100,000 outages. The Q2 2026 call uses AI to watch construction deadlines, not to optimise dispatch or inventory. A separate Ohio and Kentucky tool scans for customer scams and flags them for takedown. Neither widens the grid. There is no Q6.
Trajectory: Q3 holds. No 2026 grid-optimisation loop.
Nothing quoted yet. A rate or a saving will sit here when it is on the record. It does not light the grid.
The lines this reading rests on. A date is the source date, when the page or the line names one.
