State and Local Government:
Facilitating and supporting solutions that work for North Carolina
Elected leaders face numerous decision points that impact our shared energy future. NCSEA works to equip N.C. General Assembly and local government representatives with current, evidence-based information about clean energy’s impact on North Carolina. NCSEA also provides resources to local governments as they zone and permit clean energy.
At the NC Utilities Commission:
Championing fair rules that encourage clean energy market development
In our highly-regulated electricity market, the rules that govern energy costs impact North Carolinians’ daily lives. NCSEA's regulatory engagement encourages clean energy development by working for fair rules on issues such as implementing North Carolina's Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (REPS) and the Competitive Energy Solutions for North Carolina, interconnection and net-metering standards, energy pricing mechanisms like avoided cost rates, and energy efficiency programs.
In Your Community:
Bringing clean energy benefits home
North Carolina’s clean energy success story is about the people behind it. That’s why NCSEA strives to be a voice and a resource for the countless North Carolinians powering our shared energy economy. From tailored educational materials and custom energy planning for your community, to energy efficiency updates and opportunities to advocate for new projects, NCSEA works in all corners of the state to pair local needs with the myriad benefits clean energy offers.
