Duke Energy, a North Carolina–based utility company, had used batteries from CATL for marine base electricity storage. However, the company ceased this arrangement after concerns were raised around national security. This issue was highlighted partly due to the intervention by US lawmakers. The incident reflects a broader tension where US energy infrastructure's reliance on Chinese technology may pose risks to supply chain security and national interests.
