Norwich Technologies, Solaris Energy, and Bridge Renewable Energy have completed a 700 kW AC solar project in Winthrop, Maine. The project was initiated and approved by Breakaway Renewables, the development department of Norwich Technologies, with early financing from Solaris Energy. Norwich Solar, a department of Norwich Technologies, has completed the EPC work. Bridge Renewable Energy will become the long-term owner of the project.

Renewable energy projects have brought many benefits to the region, not just clean energy, "said Jim Merriam, CEO of Norwich Technologies." Our mission is to create projects that have a positive impact on multiple stakeholders, from the communities where the projects are located to our building contractors, financial partners, and end users - energy customers

Thanks to the net energy billing program, renewable energy projects provide affordable renewable energy to small businesses across Maine, allowing customers to save up to 15% on electricity bills without the need for prepayment.

Kevin Davis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Norwich Technologies, said, "The energy bill credit line for the Winthrop project will be used for a range of high-quality, reasonably priced apartments managed by Szanton. Saving operating costs through solar energy will help Szanton provide tenants with reasonable rent, which is urgently needed as housing prices continue to rise beyond the reach of many people

Nick Perugini, CEO and co owner of Solaris Energy, said: "Solaris is proud to participate in this green development project, turning previously unused land near the farm into clean energy and saving energy for the surrounding community. This project represents the bright potential for solar energy projects to achieve a win-win situation. We hope to increase clean energy production to meet the growing electricity demand nationwide by 2025 and beyond

Kevin Donlin, General Manager of Investment at Bridge Renewable Energy (BRE), said, "Bridge Renewable Energy is pleased to deepen its partnership with Solaris and enter the Maine market. The net energy billing program provides necessary savings for small businesses across the state, and we are proud to play a critical role. As our business continues to expand in Maine, BRE is committed to developing and operating critical renewable energy infrastructure that will enhance the state's economy
