“In a time when energy affordability and reliability are top of mind for North Carolinians, the state needs an energy system that protects consumers, reduces pollution, and supports economic growth.” https://t.co/H7VzFiJpTw

[NC Sustainable Energy Association @nccleanenergy]

The new systems will serve as on-site electrical generation and produce more than 5,900 MWh of renewable energy annually. https://t.co/ufmkCsKdWW
