The permit indicates that the waste-to-energy plant meets stringent local, regional and national environmental emissions regulations.
Bluesphere CEO Shlomi Palas said that the company will now submit applications for the remaining permits.
"This marks another milestone in the development of our 5.2 MW clean energy project in Charlotte," Palas added.
"We are nearing ground-breaking on the site and will produce and deliver power on schedule."
Bluesphere said the facility will intake organic waste such as food and farm waste that would normally go into landfills.
The organic waste will be processed in an anaerobic digester to emit biogas, which will then be turned into electricity and compost is a by-product.
The company noted that the facility generates revenues from organic waste intake, as well as through the sale of clean, renewable electricity, and the compost by-product.
