Duke Energy is planning to build two solar plants in North Carolina totalling 75.4MW.
The company said the projects are pending approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission.
They are the 60MW Monroe facility and the 15.4MW Mocksville project.
If approved, Monroe will be built in Union County on a 400-acre site. Strata Solar in Chapel Hill will design and construct the project.
Mocksville will be built in Davie County on about 110 acres of land. The project will be located at 197 Crawford Road in Mocksville.
Crowder Construction in Charlotte will serve as the project engineering, procurement and construction lead.
The company has requested a transfer of the Mocksville solar facility’s Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the NCUC, and plans to do the same regarding the Monroe Solar Facility.
Construction of both projects will begin in March if approval is granted, with completion targeted for the end of 2016.
Both projects will be owned and operated by Duke Energy Carolinas.
Financial details are not being released.
