Four energy storage companies were awarded $18 million as part of the Energy Department’s Long Duration Storage Shot.

The second of a three-phase construction led by CEP Renewables is complete, bringing the total capacity to 16 MW of a 24 MW planned project.

The two companies completed a 1,500-panel, 573 kW solar energy system for the Port Authority of NY & NJ.

CEP Renewables has taken charge of developing a 25.6 MW community solar installation atop a former landfill that has been improperly shut down since 1982.

The 4.5 MW Linden Hawk Rise project is among the first awarded capacity under the first year of the state’s Community Solar Energy Pilot Program.

The Successor Solar Incentive Program emerged from a mandate to replace the state’s existing solar program with incentives that encourage solar development while minimizing ratepayer cost.

S2605 establishes a successor to the state’s solar renewable energy certificate program, incentivizing the development of at least 3,750 MW of solar, while S3484 would establish a dual-use solar project pilot program for unpreserved farmland.

‘LD 528: An act to advance energy storage in Maine’ was signed by Governor Janet Mills, with The Pine Tree State joining several others in the trend of embracing energy storage goals. How does it compare to the other eight state targets?

A3352 would require any warehouse over 10,000 square feet and constructed on or after July 1, 2022 to include a building design that’s optimized for solar installations.

The 3.1 MW installation on a closed landfill will power up to 700 households with clean energy, dedicating 55% of its capacity to low- and moderate-income subscribers.
