"These projects are part of our planned expansion of solar in North Carolina."

"With the state third in the nation for installed solar power, we are committed to growing renewable energy in a sustainable way that benefits all customers."

The two solar projects will be both owned and operated by Duke Energy Carolinas.

These new facilities will also help meet renewable energy and efficiency requirements of North Carolina.

Recently, Duke Energy has also completed construction of approximately 140MW of solar capacity at four primary facilities in the North Carolina counties of Duplin, Bladen, Onslow and Wilson.

In North Carolina last year, the company constructed solar facilities with a total capacity of 300MW.
