Power generated from Bristol I will go to more than 400 residential and small business subscribers throughout southern Maine who signed up to procure power from the community project through EDPR’s partner, PowerMarket.<\/p>\n

For the development of Bristol I, EDPR partnered with local developer Midcoast Solar, with E&S Electric Company providing construction services. In addition, EDPR involved its local team members in developing the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a proud Mainer, I\u2019m honored not only to have been part of the development team for Bristol I, but to be a customer of the project as well,\u201d said David Kane, EDPR NA DG\u2019s director of development. \u201cMaine is among the leading states in the energy transition with more than 600 MW of solar now connected to the grid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bristol I will provide ongoing economic benefits to the local community, having already contributed over $123,000 of investment in the form of tax payments since 2023 for critical services linked to schools, public safety and road maintenance. The project created over 40 construction jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaine is a leader in developing reliable, affordable, clean and homegrown energy for its residents and its economy,\u201d said Eliza Donoghue, executive director of the Maine Renewable Energy Association. \u201cPartners like EDPR NA Distributed Generation and community solar projects like Bristol I are what the state needs to continue to grow as it responsibly invests in its energy future and maintains grid reliability.\u201d<\/p>\n

EDP Renewables North America and EDPR NA DG have worked in Maine for two decades, developing utility-scale and distributed-scale solar projects. In addition to this new project, EDPR has an additional 27 MWAC of community solar projects that are currently under construction.<\/p>\n
