Four County EMC unveils community solar initiative

GARLAND, NC (WWAY) — Four County Electric Membership Corporation hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its highly anticipated Community Solar Project on Friday.

Kenneth Thornton, the Vice President of Four County’s Board of Directors highlighted the project’s significance. “We recognized a need among our members for a solar option—one that could serve those who are unable to install solar on their own roofs due to shading, property ownership limitations, or other circumstances. With the support of the North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation (NCEMC), Cape Fear Solar Systems of Wilmington, and the USDA Rural Development team through their REAP Grant, our community solar garden became a reality. Today, we are proud to offer a solar solution that meets the diverse needs of our community while reinforcing our commitment to innovation and sustainability.”
