NCSEA statement: Gov. McCrory announces 155 new manufacturing jobs for Halifax Co.

NCSEA applauds the work of Governor McCrory, Secretary of Commerce Skvarla, legislators, local elected officials and others who worked to bring SWELECT solar manufacturing to Halifax, NC. This new renewable energy manufacturer will add 155 new jobs to the existing 26,000+ clean energy jobs located in all regions across North Carolina and will continue bolstering the rapidly-growing clean energy manufacturing sector, which already represents 4,300 workers located in our state. 

NCSEA is proud that our state’s clean energy policies have allowed renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and the industry to grow, which create manufacturing opportunities, while keeping our energy prices below the national average.
