Jan 13 (Reuters) - Utility firm Duke Energy ( DUK ) said

on Monday it has appointed insider Harry Sideris as its chief

executive officer, effective April 1.

A 29-year company veteran, Sideris will succeed Lynn Good,

who will retire from her management and board roles after more

than two decades.

Sideris, who was Duke's president since April 2024, has led

the company's electric and gas utilities. He began his career at

Progress Energy prior to its merger with Duke Energy ( DUK ) in 2012.
