As Mainers and farmers, we believe the Legislature should vote in favor of L.D. 1986.

After achieving our dream of farming food for our family and community, we decided to add solar as one of our crops and became community solar farmers. Community solar provides our family and members of our community with access to both the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy – whether they have panels or not.

Maine needs a clean energy future. That’s why we’re for L.D. 1986. We directly benefit from solar every day and want to see those benefits extended across our state. L.D. 1986 will strengthen the development of Maine-made solar and help make it a cost-effective power option while also reforming Maine’s net energy billing, making the costs and benefits more transparent. The bill provides a viable framework for community solar in Maine – moving us away from fossil fuels – and continuing our progress toward a much-needed sustainable future for our state.

Our representatives should not delay.
