According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filed with the N.C. Department of Commerce, Blue Ridge Power, LLC is laying off 348 employees at its facility located at 1682 Middle River Loop, Fayetteville, N.C.
Over the past several months, the Company has been impacted by factors beyond its control, including evolving regulatory and capital market environments that have affected many other companies in the renewable energy sector. The positions are expected to be terminated on or before Nov. 18, 2025. This action will be permanent and no bumping rights exist. None of the employees who will be affected by the layoff is a member of a union.
“Blue Ridge Power has experienced market headwinds similar to those impacting the entire renewable energy industry, requiring Pine Gate Renewables to dedicate significant resources to support the organization. After reviewing numerous options to find a path forward, Pine Gate made the difficult decision to conduct an orderly wind-down of Blue Ridge Power,” shared Pine Gate Renewables Sr. Director of Public Affairs & Philanthropy Kristen McKenzie. “Blue Ridge Power will continue to assess how best to support each of its ongoing projects, including working with its customers to transition those projects to another EPC provider. This decision in no way reflects the hard work or dedication of our valued team members, and we are deeply grateful for all of their contributions.”
