In addition to selling energy systems in retail markets, Appalachian Energy is also a growing independent energy producer. We are committed to being production leaders in these renewable sources:
Hydro:
Appalachian Energy purchased the Ivy River hydroelectric dam in 2003. Located outside the city limits of Marshall, NC, the original dam was constructed in the early 1900s. Appalachian Energy has re-powered the facility, re-engineered the turbines, upgraded the controls ,and increased the efficiency of the facility over 30%.
There are more than 3000 existing dams in North Carolina representing more than 200 Megawatts of potential renewable energy. Enough to provide electricity to 1.5 million homes in North Carolina alone.
Appalachian Energy, with our team of geologists and engineers, is committed to identifying these potential energy sites to offset fossil and nuclear fuel generation. If you know of a potential dam please send us an email at:
