Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Debt and Credit Facilities DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
In April 2024, Duke Energy issued 750 million euros aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2031. Duke Energy's obligations under its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes were effectively converted to fixed-rate U.S. dollars at issuance through cross-currency swaps, mitigating foreign currency exchange risk associated with the interest and principal payments. The $815 million equivalent in U.S. dollars were used to repay a portion of a $1 billion debt maturity due April 2024, pay down short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. See Note 9 for additional information.
In April 2024, Duke Energy Florida issued $173 million of First Mortgage Bonds due April 2074, with an interest rate of SOFR minus 35 basis points. Proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the DEFR accounts receivable securitization facility maturing in April 2024, and for general company purposes. The terms of the indenture could require repayment in less than 12 months if exercised by the bondholders and, as such, these first mortgage bonds will be classified as Current maturities of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In April 2024, Duke Energy Progress issued $177 million of storm recovery bonds at an interest rate of 5.404%. Proceeds were used to finance the South Carolina portion of restoration expenditures related to the following storms: Pax, Ulysses, Matthew, Florence, Michael, Dorian, Izzy and Jasper. See notes 4 and 12 for more information.

AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITIES
Master Credit Facility
In March 2024, Duke Energy extended the termination date of its existing $9 billion Master Credit Facility to March 2029. The Duke Energy Registrants, excluding Progress Energy, have borrowing capacity under the Master Credit Facility up to a specified sublimit for each borrower. Duke Energy has the unilateral ability at any time to increase or decrease the borrowing sublimits of each borrower, subject to a maximum sublimit for each borrower. The amount available under the Master Credit Facility has been reduced to backstop issuances of commercial paper, certain letters of credit and variable-rate demand tax-exempt bonds that may be put to the Duke Energy Registrants at the option of the holder. An amendment in conjunction with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes due April 2026 clarifies that payments due as a result of a conversion of a convertible note would not constitute an event of default.
The table below includes the current borrowing sublimits and available capacity under these credit facilities.
