Tomorrow people from Asheville will caravan to Charlotte for a state hearing on North Carolina’s energy future. Before the caravan departs, a short press conference and photo opportunity will be held in the Westgate Shopping Center at 1:30 pm for Asheville media.

They will testify at the NC Utilities Commission public hearing on the 15-year statewide Integrated Resource Plan. The caravan will depart from Asheville’s Earth Fare parking lot in Westgate Shopping Center at 2:00 PM and arrive in Charlotte for a rally before the hearing.

The Utilities Commission Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) Public Hearing will begin at 7:00 pm at the Mecklenberg County Courthouse in downtown Charlotte, NC.
