Renewable Energy

Wilson Energy supports the growth of renewable energy who wish to generate power from renewable energy projects which include solar, wind and bio-mass can take advantage of our Small Renewable Energy Program (SREP).

Residential projects are limited to less than 100 kW systems and commercial projects are limited to less than 500 kW systems. All documents describing this program and the requirements thereof are available below for download. A credit for each kilowatt hour produced, in excess of what the customer uses, will be applied to the customer’s bill. The City of Wilson is also authorized to collect voluntary contributions to NC GreenPower which are forwarded to them for their use in supporting renewable energy projects in NC.

 Our electric supplier’s generation portfolio has dropped by 48% since 2005. As a public power community, we are proud to work toward a sustainable energy future. Wilson Energy's continues to increase our renewable energy sources to our energy mix.

Through NCEMPA, City of Wilson purchases renewable generation as a part of the state’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard program. In North Carolina, renewable energy purchases must total at least 10% of total electric load for community-owned utilities.

Carbon Footprint Contribution of Power From Wilson Energy

Our electric supplier’s generation portfolio has dropped by 48% since 2005. As a public power community, we are proud to work toward a sustainable energy future.

Typically, carbon emission, or more specifically CO2 production, is about 2 lbs per kWh for a fossil fired facility. Actual heat rates, fuel content, operating cycles can affect this number, but not significantly.

Wilson Energy purchases its power through Duke Energy Progress (DEP). Our customers can use DEP’s carbon numbers to determine their energy related carbon (CO2) production.
