City Joins Others In NC To Advance The State Toward A Clean Energy Future

Wilmington is one of ten North Carolina cities and towns that have signed onto a joint letter which was filed with the NC Utilities Commission.

The Wilmington City Council passed a 2009 resolution committing to a 58% reduction in greenhouse gasses. As part of that commitment, Wilmington took the step this week to formally participate in the state’s regulatory process for mapping out a long range energy plan, called the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process.

Wilmington is one of ten North Carolina cities and towns that have signed onto a joint letter which was filed with the NC Utilities Commission.

This highlights a commitment by all of the participating cities to take steps towards a clean energy future, decrease carbon emissions, improve our health, and lower energy costs for all North Carolinians.
