Millboro, VA – BARC announced Monday the adoption of a new sustainability plan, a roadmap toward carbon-neutral energy sales that the Cooperative endeavors to accomplish by the year 2035. BARC recognizes its duty to lead by example in the prevention of climate change through eliminating carbon in its energy sales.
“We are a proven leader in the Commonwealth in offering new and innovative renewable energy solutions for our consumers,” said BARC CEO, Michael Keyser. “Developing a roadmap toward carbon-neutrality is just the next step in serving the needs of our members and combating climate change. It could not come at a better time as our Solarize BARC program kicks off this spring.”
BARC intends for the sustainability plan to be a living document that is continuously revisited and updated to reflect changes in technology, energy markets, and advancements in the renewable energy sector.
