North Carolina’s Coops Set a Goal of Zero-Net Carbon by 2050
North Carolina’s 26 electric coops have announced a goal to cut their carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. In order to meet this goal, the electric coops plan to utilize advanced technologies that make the electric grid more flexible, efficient and resilient, as well as continuing their use of carbon-free nuclear energy. This effort is part of a larger initiative called “Brighter Future” to improve the quality of life for local communities.
