科尔尼社区太阳能电池阵列

2018年5月，CCC购买了350股，共计52股.5兆瓦时/月，来自科尔尼SunWise社区太阳能项目. This is the largest community solar array project in Nebraska at Tech One Crossing located on 53 acres at 56th Street and Antelope Avenue in the Northeast side of Kearney.

These shares are enough to cover 100% of the projected annual electricity use at CCC's Kearney center. 通过购买这些股份, CCC locks in a utility rate with this agreement with a Purchase Power Agreement (PPA) between NPPD and the solar developer SoCore Energy.

CCC's Kearney Center received the first GreenPower certificate associated with the Kearney Community Solar Project and retains the environmental attributes associated with the purchased carbon free energy shares.
