Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) was founded July 13, 1908. Thus, this summer Progress Energy will celebrate 100 years of service to its customers.

"Our company celebrates its 100th anniversary this year -- a milestone very few companies in Corporate America ever reach," said Bill Johnson, chairman, president and CEO. "This is a great opportunity for us to recognize our century of service, to build pride in the company and to use it as a springboard to talk about the future we are creating."

The 100th anniversary offers an opportunity to express appreciation to all active and retired employees, and those who came before us. The company's first 100 years is a story of growth and success, and provides an opportunity to look ahead at our plans for continued growth and success.
