Cape Elizabeth will soon be home to a solar field

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 5, 2025

There will soon be a solar field on the capped landfill next to Cape Elizabeth’s transfer station. After six years of consideration and planning, Encore Energy, a Vermont-based solar company, was approved for a land lease by the Town Council for the parcel off Spurwink Avenue near the Gull Crest Fields. The 6.5-acre parcel will be home to 2,796 solar modules.
