Is my contribution tax-deductible?

Purchasing carbon offsets through Duke Energy Indiana is not tax-deductible because it is not a donation. The monthly Duke Energy Carbon Offset charge goes directly toward the purchase of carbon offsets and program administrative costs.

Additionally, the purchase of carbon offset blocks will not incur sales taxes on your bill. Consult your tax professional for more information.
