A Climate To Thrive discussion: The Maine Grid and Solar Energy

  • Jesup Memorial Library 34 Mt. Desert Street Bar Harbor, Maine 04609 (map)

Tonight’s program will be offered as an online program due to the weather. Hope to see you on Zoom!

Please join A Climate To Thrive to learn about the Maine grid and solar energy and how we can each play a role in ensuring our grid is prepared to make the transition off fossil fuels for a climate-friendly future. A Climate to Thrive’s Executive Director, Johannah Blackman, and Solar Coordinator, Beth Woolfolk, will talk about how a critical component of successfully transitioning off fossil fuels and building a climate-friendly and extreme-weather-resistant energy future is our electrical grid. Currently, the transition to renewable energy is hitting significant roadblocks when it comes to the grid here in Maine. People might have read about issues interconnecting solar projects to the electrical grid and the crippling impact of these roadblocks on local solar. The good news is: there are solutions!
