In October 2017, Julie Rosenbach flipped the switch that started the largest municipal solar project in Maine. Also one of the first in the state, the 2,944-panel array was expected to generate 1.2 million kilowatt-hours of energy per year – roughly 12% of the electricity used by the city’s municipal and school buildings. Five years later, the city is celebrating an expansion project that quadrupled the array’s reach to 12,746 panels.
