Forum on Solar Development & Siting in North Carolina - Eastern NC

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 18:37:21 +0100

Date: July 16, 2013
Description: Forum on Solar Development & Siting in North Carolina - Eastern NC Tuesday July 16, 2013 | 4:00 PM - 7:45 PM | Forum on Solar Development & Siting in North Carolina - Eastern NC (Presented jointly by the NC Solar Center & the NC Sustainable Energy Association) Tuesday, July 16| 4:00 PM - 7:45 PM Carolina Civic Center 315 North Chestnut Street Lumberton, NC Join the NC Sustainable Energy Association and the NC Solar Center for the third event in a series of five public fora designed specifically to spark critical information sharing on the technical, social, and environmental aspects of solar projects. Following this event, subsequent meetings are planned for Asheville - August 8 and Charlotte (October) with date to be determined. North Carolina has experienced dynamic growth in solar photovoltaic system development; much of it in rural areas of North Carolina where jobs have been created and tax bases have grown. Still, there is limited education for the general public, land owners, and local governments on facilitating this type of development in a way that harmonizes with local needs. Though some towns and counties have already passed their own solar ordinances to provide a useful guide for the development of solar projects, many others have not. These areas can benefit greatly from an improved understanding of solar project basics. Industry and extra-industry stakeholders can advance this goal and also serve to provide a template for the permitting of solar energy facilities. We encourage your attendance at this dynamic and informative event. Seating: Register today Benefits of Attendance Gain an understanding of local development and permitting processes. Learn about stakeholder values regarding solar energy facilities and land use. Learn how solar affects local communities. Explore best practices for solar siting. Network with energy leaders, consumers, planners and many others. Participate in break-out session and panel discussion.
