About
The Amazon Wind Farm U.S. East is North Carolina's first wind farm, and provides power to Amazon Web Services' cloud data centers. But why is it in northeastern North Carolina? What are the benefits for the local community and the farmers on whose land the turbines are installed? How does a project like this happen? (Hint: the permitting process took six years and 62 miles of new roads were built to accommodate construction.)
Join us on Saturday, Oct. 27 for a full-day trip out to Elizabeth City, where we'll visit an Amazon Wind Farm site and learn from several key players in the development process. Food and transportation will be provided; registration is required.
