Gauge indicating high potential for community solar savings, with the needle pointing to green.

Established in 2019, Maine's Net Energy Billing program spurred the development of hundreds of shared solar projects throughout Maine. Thousands of households, non-profits, and businesses participate in the program, allowing access to affordable solar energy with no upfront costs or on-site installation.

Central Maine Power presents a strong opportunity for year-round customer savings given significant project development in Southern Maine. However, businesses should seek opportunities in the near term if interested as Maine's program limits new projects from coming online.
