Maine PUC Awards Contracts for Solar, Wind Projects
“The Maine Public Utilities Commission this week awarded contracts for six new solar-power projects and an existing wind-power project in the state’s second renewable energy procurement, required under a 2019 law. This week’s announcement comes after 17 renewable projects were chosen in the first procurement under the statute last September,” reports Maine Biz in their blog.
“The full list of projects approved this week can be found here. Winning bidders include New York City-based C2 Energy Capital LLC, Helix Maine Wind Development LLC and a host of others. Bidders estimate the projects will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 260,000 tons per year.”
