Duke, which has less than 2MW of solar capacity connected in the state, needs regulatory approval before it can offer its 720,000 customers there the company’s first wide-ranging options to use solar energy.
Among the offerings:
-Utility-scale solar. Duke expects to issue a request for proposals this year for more than 50MW in South Carolina.
-Community solar. A “Shared Solar Program” will allow multiple customers who often are unable to participate in renewable energy programs to subscribe to a specific solar facility and share in the economic benefits of the power produced.
