NC GreenPower is a nonprofit that works to improve North Carolina's environment by supporting renewable energy and carbon offset projects and providing grants for educational solar PV installations at K-12 schools. Plug-in NC has been working since 2011 to establish North Carolina as a leader in electric transportation. This statewide program promotes electric vehicles through education and outreach, consulting and resource development. It also provides a collaborative opportunity for stakeholders to work together to ensure a seamless integration of electric vehicles into local communities.
Electric forklifts share many of the benefits of other forms of electric transportation. For example, they cost less to run and maintain over their lifetimes because they have fewer moving parts than internal combustion versions, and electricity is cheaper than conventional fuel sources.

Electric Rate Modernization in North Carolina: Although there have been changes to rate design in particular areas of service, there has been no broader update in several decades. Most of the designs used today originated in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s.
