_____The State of North Carolina has put retail electric deregulation on-hold for the indefinite future. Manufacturing facilities that are looking for lower cost retail power supplies have no choice, in most of North Carolina, other than to take whatever the local utility is offering. Such is not the case in the Towns of Black Creek, Dallas, Forest City, Lucama, Sharpsburg, Stantonsburg, and Waynesville, NC (e.g. the Independent Towns or Towns). These towns all have the ability to offer market-based, highly competitive prices for electricity to manufacturing facilities interested in locating in one of the towns’ service territories.

_____These towns are unique in that they each have direct access to the interstate power grids and purchase their electricity needs in the competitive power markets. If these towns cannot offer a prospective manufacturing facility the power rates that it so desires, several of these towns have the ability to work with their respective wholesale power providers to procure whatever type of power supplies that the prospective manufacturer needs for service.

_____Is your manufacturing facility looking to locate a new facility somewhere in the southeast? Is that facility in need of very competitively priced power supplies? If the answer to the above questions is yes, review the site information in the accompanying pages and contact one of our towns.

Competitive power supplies have arrived in North Carolina!
