North Carolina has significant potential to develop wind and other alternative energy without drastically increasing customer bills, according to a recent study from the state's Utilities Commission.
The report indicates that renewable energy could provide as much as 1,800 megawatts of power, the equivalent of two power plants the size of Progress Energy's Shearon Harris nuclear plant in Wake County, NC.
The study comes at a time that Progress Energy and Duke Energy are planning to build nuclear plants and Duke Energy is also planning to build coal-fired power plants.
