Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : "Duke Energy is proud to offer these customers a wide range of options including the ability to match their hourly use with carbon-free energy in one of the country's first 24x7 clean energy programs."
63% : As with Renewable Choice, customers can also combine energy storage with their project - allowing them to align the production of renewable energy with their energy load.
62% : Another innovative program being proposed - Clean Energy Impact - is ideal for non-residential customers that want to claim a certain percentage of renewable energy through environmental attribute purchases in support of corporate sustainability goals, or for residential customers that would like to support the local renewable energy industry.
62% : The customer may count the renewable energy generated to satisfy sustainability or carbon-free goals.
61% : Changes are also being requested for an existing program - Green Source Advantage - an option that allows large customers to offset their power purchases by securing renewable energy from projects connected to the Duke Energy grid.
61% : It maintains more than 4,600 megawatts of solar power on its energy grid in the Carolinas.
58% : That program - Renewable Choice - would allow large-load customers to contract with either of Duke Energy's South Carolina utilities to provide locally sourced environmental attributes, including renewable energy certificates (REC), generated from both utility-owned generation assets as well as third-party owned generation assets and could include energy-storage options.
