The North Carolina Utilities Commission on Aug. 10 approved a May 23 application from Beckwith Solar LLC for a certificate of public convenience and necessity allowing construction of a 5-MW (ac) solar photovoltaic facility to be located along Carolina Road, east of Zep Lewis Drive, west of School Street, north of Bertie Road, Tabor City, Columbus County, North Carolina.
The applicant plans to sell the electricity generated by this facility to Duke Energy Progress. The date the facility is projected to come on-line is Sept. 1, 2017. The projected annual sales of the facility are expected to be approximately 10,500,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). The expected cost of the facility is about $9.45 million.
