PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 14, 2020
A Boston-based solar energy developer that’s planning to build three solar farms in Maine has begun a marketing campaign offering residents and small businesses a 15 percent credit on their electric bills if they subscribe to the projects, the first example in Maine of a new way to invest in clean energy that is expected to grow over the next few years. Nexamp has launched digital ads and is sending direct mail to customers in Central Maine Power’s service area, seeking to sign up subscribers for energy that will be generated by solar farms planned for Gorham, Auburn and Rumford. Nexamp’s solar farms are benefiting from recently passed laws in Maine meant to encourage the growth of renewable energy projects.
