The Future of NC GreenPower is in Your Hands!


NC GreenPower is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina whose mission is to connect customers with renewable energy and carbon offset providers to improve the quality of the environment in North Carolina.

Recent changes in the program have shown the lack of support from the state. In order to continue to support the growth of small-scale renewable energy generators, they have eliminated the ability for generators to renew after the 5-year term. This allows them to continue to support the start up of small installations, but have also eliminated the ability of some generators to remain standing. More recently they reduced the incentive for all small-scale solar systems less than 5kw (DC rated) from $.08 to $.06. There is a new $25 application fee. However, this fee will be refunded if the project is generating to the grid within 90 days from the date the agreement is signed by the applicant.

The Board of Directors monitors the renewable energy market as well as donations to determine appropriate pricing and changes to the program. In order to prevent further reductions in price, NC GreenPower needs YOUR support! For just $4 a month, you can help support their generators and the growth of green energy throughout North Carolina. NC GreenPower took it into their own hands to support green energy growth and a cleaner environment. Now it's on our hands.
