Duke Energy works with various state and federal agencies throughout

Duke Energy helped the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
reintroduce the bald eagle to the state. An active bald eagle nest
is located at the Gibson Generating Station in Gibson County, Indiana
and near the Wabash River Generating Station in Vigo County, Indiana.
In addition, there are two active bald eagle nests near the Cayuga
Generating Station in Vermillion County, Indiana. Duke Energy personnel
work in collaboration with the DNR to monitor and evaluate endangered
species found on or near its properties.
