The Carolinas Development Assistance and Siting Hub (DASH) program aims to provide education and technical assistance on renewable energy siting and permitting issues to local governments and communities in North and South Carolina. This three-year U.S. Department of Energy-funded program will involve (1) surveys and community meetings to understand questions and perspectives about renewable energy development; (2) creation of resources to support local governments on siting and permitting issues, including model ordinances and a database of existing North and South Carolina renewable energy ordinances; and (3) educational workshops and direct technical assistance for local governments and communities.

NCCETC is hosting community meetings throughout the Carolinas to better understand local perspectives about large-scale solar and wind energy project development. To RSVP for a community meeting, please click here.
