C4EE EnergyFEST

EnergyFEST is a celebration of renewable energy development in rural communities that spotlights sources of clean energy generation that will meet the demands for more power.

Learn how Homegrown Energy – clean energy sources found here at home – are powering the way forward. Visit The Center for Energy Education to interact with elected officials, academia, industry partners and our community.

The free outdoor event will feature topics that inform us about the state of renewables here at home.

• Meet local industry experts who will share perspectives on solar in the energy mix: a solar panel manufacturer from Greenville and a solar panel recycler from Salisbury. Learn how their roles contribute to the renewables lifecycle and energy generation.

• Learn about community benefit agreements, project-specific contracts that shape renewable energy projects through engagement opportunities between developers and communities.

• Discuss with local students about how clean energy expectations should fit into their futures.

• See C4EE’s Clean Power Avenue of Flags, an artistic, visual reminder of how renewable energy can encourage conversation.
