Solar Maine

The debate surrounding the future of America’s energy supply has grown increasingly intense during the last several decades. As energy demand has grown, so too have the risks to our energy security, our national security, our environment and our economic stability. Issues as diverse as global warming, air pollution, and military conflict have been associated with our fossil fuel based economy. While the Federal Government has been formulating responses to these issues at the national level, state governments have been formulating regional plans of action. With a disproportionately high dependence on imported energy and a projected growth in energy demand, the northeast states have reached a critical juncture for deciding their energy future.

Solar Northeast is cost-effectively jumpstarting the northeast’s transition to a renewable energy economy by enabling large-scale investment in solar energy. To this end, we are working to establish and promote innovative models for financing renewable energy technologies at all levels of government throughout the region. The initial strategy is based on a revenue financing model. Revenue financing provides a loan based on the costs and savings identified in a project, providing for payments based on the overall savings of the project and therefore requiring no capital investment from the borrower.

Currently our work is focused on campaigns in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut so our content on this page is limited. Please, bare with us as this site develops. Explore the links to the left for useful information.

 

Solar energy is an unlimited and pollution-free resource that reliably produces electricity where it is consumed.
