Duke Energy begins construction of two solar projects in North Carolina
Duke Energy has begun construction on two major solar projects in North Carolina, USA. The projects include the 69 megawatt (MW) Maiden Creek solar facility, located on Didley Dadburn Road in the Catawba County town of Maiden and the 25 MW Gaston solar facility located on Neal Road in the Gaston County town of Bessemer Cit.
The projects were selected as part of a competitive bidding process that was established from 2017’s landmark solar legislation in North Carolina. The projects were among the most cost-effective and will deliver clean solar energy at the lowest possible cost.
Together, the facilities will feature about 400,000 solar panels and generate enough energy to power approximately 20,000 homes and businesses. Both projects are scheduled to come online by the end of this year.
