protecting our
environment
As guests in the communities where we build,
We respect the land and make every effort to minimize disruptions and maintain positive relationships with our neighbors.
above and beyond compliance
“Sustainable solar sites start with sustainable designs. Before construction begins, our Engineering team considers how transforming a piece of land into a solar facility will impact its existing ecosystems, from wildlife to water quality, ensuring all site plans comply with local, state, and federal regulations and industry best practices.
Blue Ridge Power has extensive experience building for storm resilience in regions prone to heavy rainfall and severe weather events, particularly in the Southeast and coastal areas. With a focus on erosion and sediment control and stormwater management, we are skilled in mitigating flood risks, preventing environmental degradation, protecting infrastructure, and preserving biodiversity while guaranteeing the durability of our projects.
Blue Ridge Power’s dedicated Environmental Compliance team ensures site personnel have a thorough understanding of all required permits, regulatory expectations, and sustainable practices before construction activities begin and supports compliance excellence throughout the project build.
Director of Environmental Compliance Chuck Cranford brings 20+ years of experience in the environmental sector as a regulator, consultant, and industry manager, with specialization in protecting water resources.
building sustainably
From building materials to packaging, Blue Ridge Power is committed to decreasing our contribution to construction waste. In addition to providing recycling receptacles on all sites, we have implemented programs to recycle or refurbish all inoperative solar modules
We offer project owners the option to integrate additional practices throughout construction, including:
Pollinator habitat and native vegetation
Organic material recycling
