Duke Energy plans 1MW solar farm (Charlotte)
Duke Energy Generation Services is developing a 1-megawatt solar farm in Shelby and will sell the power to the N.C. municipal power agency that provides power to the city.
The 10-acre farm will provide enough power for the equivalent of 140 homes, says DEGS, an unregulated division of parent company Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE:DUK). It is the second solar project undertaken by DEGS and the first commercial project it has built in the Carolinas.
“Given the solar farm’s close proximity to our headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., adding the Shelby solar project to Duke Energy’s growing commercial renewable-power portfolio is an especially meaningful milestone for our company,” says DEGS President Wouter van Kempen.
DEGS bought the project last month from California-based SunPower Corp.
