Energy. Economy. Efficiency. Environment.
As of August 3rd, 2026, we are sharing that 2026 will be E4 Carolinas' final year of operations. Beginning August 31, the organization will transition to volunteer leadership as we fulfill our remaining direct commitments to members through the fall and complete an orderly wind-down by year-end.
Founded in 2012 by regional energy executives—with strong backing from Duke Energy and then-CEO Jim Rogers—E4 Carolinas was created to expand Charlotte's energy hub into a comprehensive bi-state energy cluster serving both North and South Carolina. Our mission was to connect leaders across the energy sector, foster collaboration among industry, government, academia and communities, and help position the Carolinas as a national leader in energy.
We are incredibly grateful for your membership, support and partnership over the years. Together, we have made a lasting impact on the Carolinas' energy community, and that legacy will continue through the people and organizations who carry this work forward.
