Duke Energy, City of Charlotte team up on solar power project in North Carolina
The City of Charlotte has entered into a renewable power agreement under Duke Energy’s Green Source Advantage (GSA) program – further expanding solar energy in North Carolina.
The 35-megawatt (MW) solar facility will be constructed in Iredell County. Under a 20-year power purchase agreement, Duke Energy will secure zero-carbon power to partially offset the city of Charlotte’s energy demand.
The city will partner with Carolina Solar Energy, a North Carolina-based solar energy company, and Ecoplexus, an international solar energy company with offices in Durham, N.C., to build the solar farm.
The project is expected to be fully operational in 2022.
