Duke Energy Forms EcoPartnership with Chinese Counterpart

05/12/2011 - Duke Energy and a Chinese counterpart are joining forces to create a so-called "EcoPartnerhip" supported by the US State Department and the Chinese government.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton presided over a signing ceremony in which Duke Energy and China-based ENN Group created the partnership along with Duke's hometown of Charlotte, N.C., and the Chinese city of Langfang in Hebei Province.

The program, administered by the U.S. Department of State and the People's Republic of China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), will encourage a range of collaborative public-private activities designed to stimulate innovation and sustainable economic development.
