A man in a hard hat tipping his hat against a dramatic sky.

The ad opens with a close-up of a man in a hard hat, then transitions to a utility truck with a bucket lift parked by a river with a city skyline in the background. Text appears: '365 DAYS A YEAR'. We see workers performing various tasks: connecting wires on a utility pole, handling pipes, working in a control room with multiple monitors displaying grid schematics, and operating heavy machinery. The pacing is dynamic, intercutting between close-ups of workers and wider shots of infrastructure and the city. The ad concludes with a shot of a man driving a truck across a bridge, followed by a drone shot of the city skyline and the Duke Energy logo with the tagline 'BUILDING A SMARTER ENERGY FUTURE'.
