among eastern US states. Still, the prospects for growth in both of those areas are slim in Alabama, while green energy opportunities are ripe for the picking.To be clear, it’s not all about the politics. Alabama is located in a region of the US where lower-altitude wind resources are less than optimal, and that can be a stumbling block.. In the meantime, the solar industry could emerge as the bright spot in Alabama’s green energy profile..
Not to jinx, but Mercedes-Benz already appears to have that in hand. Building on its longstanding relationship with the utility Alabama Power, last year Mercedes-Benz received approval to nail 80 megawatts in renewable energy credits for its campuses in Vance and Bibb counties, from the proposed Letohatchee Solar Project. The project is expected to begin operation in 2024, which is right around the time Mercedes-Benz expects those renewable kilowatts to start rolling in.
