NC GreenPower
NC GreenPower is an independent nonprofit program dedicated to encouraging the development of renewable energy. It connects people to renewable energy and carbon offset projects by offering anyone the ability to support a cleaner future for North Carolina. For as little as $4 a month, this program can bridge the gap between those who are unable to develop their own projects with those who need additional financial support.
