United States programmer protects 55MW of Maine solar

• Borrego Solar will quickly start building 55MW of brand-new solar ability in the US state of Maine.

The eight new projects are located in Manchester, Orland, Randolph, Strong, Turner, Windham, Blue Hill and Millinocket.

The Borrego portfolio represents the largest honor from Portland-based Competitive Energy Services' (CES) Distributed Generation Consortium campaign.

CES released a request for proposition (RfP) in September 2019, where it organised 25 power users across Maine, consisting of LL Bean, City of Portland, University of Maine, Colby College, Nestle Waters North America and Pratt & Whitney to acquire clean power from these projects.

The consolidated MaineHealth as well as Consortium portfolio of 12 solar power plants will certainly have a set up capability going beyond 82MW.

The projects will start building this year, producing 60 jobs throughout the state, with the full profile scheduled for completion and also affiliation in 2021.

Borrego said it is looking for additional companions and sites to additional contribute to Maine and also the Northeast's clean power targets.
