Renewable energy or “green power” is defined as energy that consists of electricity provided from solar, wind, small hydro, landfill methane, animal waste methane, agricultural waste and/or other biomass resources. Contributions to NC GreenPower have made projects like these possible. The installation of the renewable energy system was funded by the project owner.
This generator project is grid-tied and interconnected with their electric utility. The utility compensates the producer for the electricity generated to the grid, and NC GreenPower provides additional incentives for the green attributes (or RECs) for each kilowatt hour added to the grid.
Sign UpThe NC GreenPower Speakers Bureau was created to help carry the message of our mission to all corners of North Carolina.
