Utility companies in the United States are closely monitoring the ongoing geomagnetic storm caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun. These solar activities have the potential to disrupt power grids and communications systems.
Duke Energy, a utility company serving over 8 million people across several states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, stated that it is currently tracking the solar activity. Despite the storm, Duke Energy mentioned that there have been no grid fluctuations reported so far today, and it does not anticipate any outages.
