Bright news for Central Maine Power customers – shared solar energy in Wiscasset
Solar Gardens by Syncarpha is excited to announce the operation of our latest Community Solar garden in Wiscasset, Maine. This new 6.4 MW solar array is located off Lowell Town Road, generating clean energy directly into the Central Maine Power grid.
Over 1,200 Maine homeowners, renters, and businesses have subscribed to this community solar project with Solar Gardens and will begin receiving clean energy credits directly on their electric bills in the coming months.
“Our journey in Maine has been characterized by resilience and innovation, as we continue to navigate this emerging community solar market. Our consistent achievements in Maine showcase our dedication and growing expertise in providing sustainable, solar solutions. This Wiscasset project exemplifies our commitment to advancing solar energy access across Maine and beyond.”
– Clifford Chapman, Co-Founder & CEO of Syncarpha Capital
This “shared solar” initiative not only supports Maine’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) of 80% by 2023 (80% of electricity sold in the state must be produced by renewable sources) but also helps residents support renewable energy while saving up to 15% on electricity.
Every Community Solar project varies in size, location, and energy output. Because of this, subscriber benefits also vary. Community Solar subscriber benefits typically include:
