Maine is receiving $62 million from the federal government to bring solar energy to low-income households, reduce energy costs and create more jobs. Maine was one of 60 projects to receive this funding through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Solar for All competition, which expands residential or community solar programs and is funded through the Inflation Reduction Act. The state’s applicationincluded incentives for rooftop solar storage and technical assistance for cooperatively owned solar operations.
