Legislative Guide
NC Legislative Guide 2012
The NC Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA) first published its annual Legislative Guide in 2005, and in some years it has been read by more than 15,000 people.
Annually, this guide reaches more than 10,000 North Carolina residents — playing a vital role in educating the public about pending and recent legislation concerning: renewable energy, energy efficiency and high performance buildings, energy and economic development, and other energy-related issues and sources.
The guide also explains how a bill becomes a law, and overviews the form and function of the NC Utilities Commission.
