Duke Energy selected five high-potential business and industrial sites in Florida for its 2026 Site Readiness Program, the company said on Wednesday, October 28. The initiative prepares locations for potential investment and promotes them to companies seeking expansion sites.

Since the program began in 2013, 66 sites have been evaluated, according to Duke Energy. The company said 13 businesses committed to expanding at sites that went through the program, generating more than 773 million US dollars in capital investment and 2,875 jobs in Florida.

Five sites enter the 2026 program

The selected locations include properties in Sumter, Volusia, Dixie, Lafayette and Madison counties. Duke Energy said the program brings consultants, designers and engineers together with local authorities, landowners and economic development groups to assess and improve industrial sites.

The company described the initiative as part of its broader effort to support local growth while modernizing its energy system. The announcement provides an operating and community-development update rather than a new earnings outlook. The full announcement is available from Duke Energy.
