A town that went from 18,823 to 50,193 people

The brick blocks on Broad Street look much as they did when the depot was busy, but the town around them has changed fast. Mooresville counted 18,823 people in 2000 and 50,193 in 2020, so a call here can mean a historic downtown-area home that needs its panel checked before a heat pump goes in, or a newer house near Lake Norman that has plenty of amps and no backup at all. Homeowners on the Mecklenburg side of the lake get the same Gastonia crews through our generator and electrical service in Huntersville, a short run down I-77 from the Langtree and Brawley School Road exits.

What Mooresville puts on a home's power

Mooresville's electrical story runs through two utilities, a lake Duke Energy built, a hard 2024 storm and a mill-era core that people still live in.

  1. Two utilities in one town

    Duke Energy and EnergyUnited both serve the Town of Mooresville. Your utility decides who you call in an outage, but a standby generator and transfer switch are installed the same way on either system.

  2. Helene reached Iredell County

    On September 27, 2024, Helene brought down trees and power lines across EnergyUnited's territory, and about 24 percent of its Iredell County customers lost power. More than 24,600 of its members were out by late that morning.

  3. A lake Duke Energy built

    Lake Norman was created between 1959 and 1964 when Duke Energy built Cowans Ford Dam, and it sits 3 to 8 miles west of downtown Mooresville. Lake homes often carry big loads, so we size a generator to what the house really runs, not just a few circuits.

  4. Historic districts, historic wiring

    Mooresville's first textile mill opened in 1900, and the Mill Village and South Broad Street Row are both on the National Register of Historic Places. Homes that old were never wired for central air and a car charger, so nothing new goes on the panel until a load calculation says it can.

Questions from Mooresville homeowners

For addresses inside town limits, the Town of Mooresville's Building Permitting and Inspections Department, which began issuing permits in 2023 at One Mooresville Center on W. Iredell Avenue. Before that, residents went to Iredell County Building Standards in Statesville. Homes outside town limits may still fall under the county, so we check your parcel against town limits before we file.

No. Duke Energy and EnergyUnited both serve Mooresville, and the generator side of the job is the same for either. The automatic transfer switch separates your home from the utility line before the generator takes over, which protects line crews, then switches back when power returns. Your utility only decides where you report the outage.

Usually, if it is sized for it. We start with a list of what has to keep running in an outage, such as HVAC, any pumps the house depends on, the kitchen and the garage, and then size the generator and transfer switch to that load. Some lake homes go whole-house and others choose essential circuits to keep the unit smaller.

Yes. Lake Norman Airpark, about 5 miles northwest of downtown, and Mount Mourne, 3.5 miles southwest on NC Highway 115, are both part of our Mooresville service area, along with the rest of south Iredell County. Some of these addresses sit outside town limits, so we check which permit office applies first. We are open 24/7 for outage calls.
