Background

About Chris Edge

I am passionate about building strategic partnerships that drive growth for both businesses and communities. At Duke Energy, I lead a team of diverse professionals serving as the primary interface with our largest retail and wholesale customers, ensuring their evolving energy needs are met through innovative, tailored solutions. I also oversee Duke Energy’s nationally recognized Economic Development team, which plays a vital role in attracting, retaining, and expanding business investments by providing energy expertise, site selection support, and infrastructure solutions that fuel job creation and sustainable economic growth. With a career grounded in business strategy, energy policy, account management, and product management, I bring a holistic perspective to solving complex challenges. What drives me is the opportunity to create meaningful impact by helping businesses thrive, communities prosper, and the energy industry move forward. This is the most exciting time in the history of the energy industry. As energy demands accelerate, especially among large-load customers, we are at the forefront of developing innovative solutions that support exponential growth while balancing affordability, reliability, and the transition to clean energy. The challenge is complex, but it’s also a tremendous opportunity to help shape a more sustainable and resilient energy future. Outside of work, I have an ever-evolving passion for Tottenham Hotspur soccer (Go Spurs!), enjoy spending time in the outdoors, and deeply value quality time with my family.
