FLS Energy on Jan. 7 filed a notice with the North Carolina Utilities Commission that on Dec. 31, 2015, it acquired the membership interests of Innovative Solar 65 LLC.

The commission in May 2015 had approved a July 2014 application from Innovative Solar 65 for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for construction of a 4.995-MW (ac) solar photovoltaic facility to be located at 13005 X-Way Road, Laurinburg, Scotland County, North Carolina.
