FOCUS: Demand high, so Walton EMC adds second solar project

By Greg Brooks | More sun power is on the way! Walton Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) has begun construction of its second cooperative solar project.

CEO Ronnie Lee says: “Our customer-owners quickly snapped up the first 750 solar blocks when they became available last June. They were gone in just a few days. Customer-owners continue to call. The demand is phenomenal. We already have a waiting list long enough to sell out 80 percent of the next project. That’s why we’re on the fast track to build more.”
