Our state benefits by reducing carbon emissions and using more renewable energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The development of renewable energy projects close to employee and customer centers is one way Wells Fargo is working to meet our net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goal in a way that also contributes to the communities where we live and work. Investing in solar energy development in <span class=\"xn-location\">North Carolina<\/span> will support job creation, tax revenue, reduced carbon emissions, and grid resiliency,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Nate Hurst<\/span>, head of Social Impact and Sustainability at Wells Fargo. &#8220;We appreciate the collaboration with <span class=\"xn-org\">Duke<\/span> and NextEra to advance our enterprise sustainability goals in a way that benefits the local economy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re excited to work with Duke Energy and Wells Fargo to provide more affordable, renewable energy through the Green Source Advantage program,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Matt Handel<\/span>, senior vice president of development for NextEra Energy Resources. &#8220;The Blackburn Solar project will also provide significant benefits to the economy, creating good-paying construction jobs and generating millions of dollars in additional tax revenue for the local community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Green Source Advantage program is a result of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/illumination.duke-energy.com\/articles\/want-solar-energy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">2017&#8217;s solar legislation<\/a> in <span class=\"xn-location\">North Carolina<\/span>. The GSA program allows large customers to offset their power purchases by securing renewable energy from projects connected to the Duke Energy grid.
