AMPlify Appalachia
Jun 11, 2026
Save the Date: Our AMPlify Appalachia event will be returning on June 11, 2026! 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. And as part of plans for long-term regional resilience, the NC Department of Environmental Quality, through the State Energy Office, has also invested in a network of planned stationary microgrids and mobile “Beehive” microgrids in Western and Eastern North Carolina. Even with all of this momentum, the continued recovery needs far outmatch the available resources. Join us for an evening of music at Sierra Nevada’s High Gravity Room to enjoy local artists and support long-term 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. Join us at Sierra Nevada’s High Gravity Room for a benefit concert to remember, featuring live performances by Anders Osborne & Duck! Purchase Tickets Here! Sponsorship Opportunities NCSEA is offering sponsorship opportunities for this event. If you would like more information or would like to purchase a sponsorship, please visit our webpage.

Addressing Extreme Heat Through Faithful Community Resilience

As extreme heat intensifies across the Carolinas, communities face rising energy costs, disproportionate health risks, and increasing pressure on local infrastructure.

They are uniquely positioned to partner with others on advancing communities’ heat resilience. Register now for a public conversation exploring the intersection of faith, energy justice, and climate resilience. Hosted by Ashley Ward of Duke University’s Heat Policy Innovation Hub, this conversation will feature insights from Pastor Neil Bernard (New Wine Christian Fellowship), Angella Dunston (Warren County Environmental Action Team), and Reverend Leo Woodberry (Kingdom Living Temple and New Alpha Community Development). The discussion will examine: – How faith-based communities are addressing extreme heat and energy poverty – The role of churches and community spaces as resilience hubs – Policy and financial solutions that connect local needs with industry and government action The event is free and open to the public (registration is required).
