Maine's first multi-town solar project, a 4-megawatt solar array, generates clean, renewable energy for five municipalities at no upfront cost
This 4 megawatt solar array is the first in Maine to provide power to multiple Maine towns , including Topsham, Rangeley, Rockland, Dover Foxcroft, Vassalboro, and Vassalboro Schools. Solar production from the array will offset electric bills for municipal off-takers at no upfront cost through Net Energy Billing Credits .
Each year, the 10,500-panel ground-mounted array, located in Skowhegan, will produce upwards of 4,853,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity which is enough to offset the total energy use of 414 homes, or the equivalent carbon offset of more than 4,000 acres of forests.
