Engineering firm opens Maine office to work on solar connections

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 19, 2021

An engineering firm with a global presence is opening an office in South Portland on Tuesday aimed at speeding the connection of solar energy projects to the electric grid, a move that it says could create 100 full-time jobs by year’s end. K&A Engineering Consulting, a White Plains, New York-based power and utilities engineering firm with operations in the United States and Nepal, is coming to Maine to work on the bottleneck of solar interconnection projects, notably in Central Maine Power’s service area.
