☀️ We’re thrilled to announce our two newest solar farms!
The Sumac and Sweetleaf Solar Farms, located in Eastern North Carolina, are significantly larger than our existing farms and will triple our solar generation capacity. Combined, they will produce enough clean energy to power approximately 130,000 homes each year! Both farms are estimated to begin construction in 2027 and “turn on” in 2028.
Sumac and Sweetleaf will both include wildlife-friendly fencing to allow animals to safely pass through. Additionally, to support the local communities surrounding these solar farms, CleanChoice Energy will donate more than $100,000 in each community to support local food banks, local schools, scholarships for local students, the Center for Energy Education, and more.
