The IRP’s base-case scenario, set to reduce emissions by 50 percent to 55 percent by 2030 through new renewables and retiring its roughly 10,000 megawatts of coal-fired power plants, can be done “under existing statutes,” Good stated. Historically, energy policy in North Carolina has moved in a bipartisan way," she said.
