A new spark towards lowering carbon emissions and encouraging renewable sources of energy is alive and well in Presque Isle. The area has received two proposed solar electric generation facility projects in 2020 that plan on generating millions in new investment and supplying over 9 megawatts of power to our local energy grid. These projects are part of a strategy by the state of Maine to address climate change through reducing carbon emissions by investing in renewable resources of wind, solar, and hydro electric generation.
