community solar

What is community solar? What do you need to think about when deciding whether to sign up for it? And what does the future of this program look like here in Maine? That's what we dive into in this episode of Maine Explained.

State lawmakers have approved changes to a solar energy subsidy program that is increasing electricity prices for ratepayers.

A program designed to promote solar power has been drawing fire from critics who say it's too expensive. Lawmakers are now considering a bill to modify the net energy billing program.

Maine's public advocate is warning that electric ratepayers are about to be hit with another price increase unless lawmakers change a law that encourages solar energy development.

Summit Ridge Energy is developing projects nationwide, including 80 megawatts of solar projects in 11 Maine counties.

The Legislature recently increased the size of projects that could access the state's "net energy billing" system, which provides credits and payments for electricity that solar generators put on the grid. Patrick Scully, a member of the Public Utilities commission, told a legislative committee on Wednesday that the credits add costs to everyone's electricity bills.
