On the latest episode, we sit down with Marshall Cherry, President & CEO of Roanoke Electric Cooperative. Cherry continues to have a transformative impact on clean energy across the state after nearly three decades with the cooperative. In our conversation, we delve into the innovative programs offered to its member-owners in Northeastern North Carolina, including proven initiatives like a tariffed on-bill energy efficiency program, community solar options, and a recently rolled out electric vehicle specific rate structure. We also discuss the importance of expanding clean energy access to all North Carolinians, especially historically underrepresented communities, and the effective actions that the industry can take to confront the energy burden challenge.
