Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Citygroup recently announced sustainability objectives including ultimate net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In pursuit of this objective, Wells Fargo will purchase power from the Blackburn Solar project to be established in Catawba County, NC.

Wells Fargo is taking advantage of the Duke Energy Green Source Advantage Program allowing large consumers to reduce the cost of power purchases by using renewable energy.  North Carolina is a leader in solar energy with Duke Energy maintaining 3,500 megawatts of solar power on its North Carolina energy grid.
