Duke Energy’s McGuire Nuclear Station has produced hundreds of millions of megawatt-hours of electricity for the community and is the largest employer to Huntersville residents. McGuire is also home to the EnergyExplorium, which features a one-mile wooded trail and butterfly garden with interactive energy exhibits. Duke Energy created a fishing park featuring a unique “hothole” ecosystem which has higher water temperatures from cooling down the pipes used in the power generation process.
