Your Guide to Successful Solar in the Northeast

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

Flat, clear land is prime real estate for solar, but as these ideal sites are taken up, more projects will need to be built in regions with challenging terrain, such as steep slopes, undulating topography, former marshland, and agricultural fields. The Northeast is one such region which also has much potential for solar growth. New York, for example, has consistently been in the top 10 U.S. solar markets, with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) projecting a growth of 4,877 MW for the state over the next five years1 .

NORTH CAROLINA: LEADING THE CHARGE TO A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

whitePaper | December 31, 2022

North Carolina leads the United States in taking bold steps to address climate change and rising energy costs. Over the last two decades, the state has enacted a series of legislative, executive and regulatory actions to propel the state toward a clean energy future. These actions laid the foundation for landmark bipartisan climate legislation passed in 2021 known as House Bill 951 (HB 951) which requires North Carolina utilities to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Simultaneously, North Carolina has invested heavily in diversifying its energy resource mix to include increased amounts of renewable energy sources. These investments have enabled North Carolina businesses to meet their sustainability goals while benefiting from some of the lowest energy costs in the country.
