Glassmaker Corning will buy almost two-thirds of the output of a large solar farm that Duke Energy Renewables is building in Eastern North Carolina. Stakeholders at the conference will discuss what immediate steps need to be taken, plus explore the policy framework and formulate a strategy for driving North Africa’s solar energy sector forward. Going green makes good business sense because it encourages efficiencies and clean power usage that eventually lower costs. “In delivering this quality project, we’re proud to bring more solar power to North Carolina as we partner with Corning to advance their environmental stewardship”. “We believe this decision fits our corporate mission to be a good steward of the environment”.
The project, which is based in Lokoja, Kogi State, is expected to provide renewable energy supply to about 175,000 people and nearby industrial clusters, support job creation, and boost economic growth in the country.

Worldwide, solar PV and CSP are among the fastest growing renewable electricity technologies-in 2014 alone, combined capacity increased by more than 28% globally.
The report indicates hydropower accounted for approximately half of total renewable electricity generation previous year, with biomass accounting for about 12 percent, wind at 33 percent, solar at 6 percent and geothermal at 3 percent.

Corning produced the first emission control substrate that enabled the auto industry to meet standards set in the Clean Air Act in 1972. The 1st project might be a 60MW website in that can be constructed near Monroe in Union County.
