What do you type to find Duke Energy?

Type Duke Energy in the Biller box. The list shows nine rows: plain Duke Energy, then IN and OH, then Florida, Progress and Carolinas, then one for business accounts. Two Benefits rows come last, and they are not for an energy bill.

The rows name companies, not states, so match the company name on your bill. Duke’s own site lists Kentucky among its states, and no row is named for Kentucky. If your bill says Duke Energy Kentucky and no row matches, pay it with Duke directly. These rows are in Artisan’s biller list as read on October 12, 2026. Typing only Duke lists 24 rows.

What does the account number box take?

Duke Energy is not a card biller, so the box is labelled Account number, with the hint as it shows on your bill. The Bill form only checks that the box is filled in, so a wrong number is caught later, when Duke does not accept the payment.
