AMPlify Appalachia

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Footprint Project, Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and many other local partners stepped in to deploy solar and battery storage microgrid systems with a focus on restoring power, telecommunications, and clean drinking water to communities across Western North Carolina. In the months since this storm devastated the region, these partners continue to install clean energy solutions, with more than 60 operational battery and solar projects on the ground serving North Carolinians. As part of plans for long-term regional resiliency, these partner organizations are working with local, state, and federal entities to deploy more clean energy projects to serve the community in these next phases of recovery and to prepare for future storms. Join us for an evening of music at Sierra Nevada’s High Gravity Room to enjoy local artists and support regional recovery through clean energy. Proceeds from this event benefit Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and their efforts to serve western North Carolina.  

The event will also feature short remarks from local leaders and recovery organizations about efforts made to date and future recovery needs that can be supported through clean energy. AMPlify Appalachia will also kick off a recovery summit in the Asheville area hosted by Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council. 

Join us at Sierra Nevada’s High Gravity Room for a benefit concert to remember.
