We received a letter on 24 February from Central Maine Power about a law passed in 2025, LD 1777, which was interpreted by the Public Utilities Commission to limit Mainers from owning shares in more than one ownership-model community solar farm. Our family owns shares in two ownership-model community solar farms. As a result of this PUC interpretation, we will no longer receive credits for our significant investment in one of the solar farms. In 2023, we purchased an 8kW share in Revision Energy's Sheepscot River community solar farm; and in 2025, we purchased a 4kW share in Revision Energy's Nicholson community solar farm. These are shares in ownership-model community solar farms. We purchased these shares to cover the electricity use of our home in Yarmouth, Maine. These purchases were not for a subscription; we own solar panels in two community solar farms. Our family made its initial investment in a community solar share in 2023 to cover the cost of recently added heat pumps and an electric vehicle charger at our home. In early 2025, we realized that our electricity use was not completely covered by the 8kW share, and we decided to invest in a second share of 4kW to cover our additional energy needs. A 4 kW share was not available from the Sheepscot River community solar farm, so we purchased a 4kW share for $15,000 in the Nicholson community solar farm, which was built and began operating in 2025. The current PUC interpretation of LD 1777 adversely affects Mainers like us, who chose to make an investment in solar. That interpretation will result in the unfair taking of a $15,000 asset from our family. We urge the PUC to address this issue to clarify that persons can own shares in, and receive energy credits from, more than one ownership-model community solar farm. We have also contacted legislators about this issue and requested relief. Respectfully, Gib Parrish Sharon McDonnell

Briefly: We own a home in Falmouth. Over the past decade we have installed roof-top solar panels, multiple heat pumps, and purchased two electric vehicles and an EV charger. Our roof-top panels generate about 60% of our electric needs so, again over a period of years, we purchased shares in two member-owned community solar farms. As a parent and grandparent I am extremely concerned about our climate future. Investing in renewable energy is one small thing I can do to help. You can imagine my shock when I received the recent letter from CMP telling me we would lose a significant investment which, I believed, Maine had encouraged us to make. I strongly support the proposed rule changes which I read about on the PUC website. Thank you.

I am a resident of Cape Elizabeth. My wife and I bought a share in a solar farm through Revision Energy. We felt this was a great way to impact our environment for the better: reducing greenhouse gases, relieving some of the stress on the electric grid, and as an example to our own children on making a difference in our world. In keeping with these goals, we then added heat pumps to our home and bought an electric car, both with the encouragement of our government which provided rebates to do so. As a result, our initial solar farm investment no longer met our electricity needs. We bought a share in yet another solar farm through Revision Energy to meet our increased needs. The original solar farm from our first share was fully accounted for, so the second share was in a different farm. We were very upset to receive a letter this week from CMP stating that we will only receive credit towards our electricity use from one farm. We made a major investment, encouraged by government policies, the environmental purpose and benefits of which are unchanged. I urge the Maine PUC to reconsider the decision to limit the credits for energy provided. Our investments were made in good faith to benefit the environment, and CMP benefitted by adding a clean energy source to its supply. We have tried to teach our children to be good stewards of our planet. The changes CMP plans to adopt throws the whole rationale for government policies and our investments into doubt. Thank you.

Owning multiple shares in community solar farms is natural, as in our example: We purchased shares in two phases during our remodel, because we did not know what the final demand would be: first, to have enough solar to offset the usage we exhibited before the remodel; then, to evaluate our ongoing new usage and buy into additional panels if needed. During the remodel, we had significant additional electrical demands, including heat pumps for HVAC and hookups to charge our electric vehicles. Thus, we bought additional panels which came from a different farm. In this manner, we did not have to guess at our usage, and now own the correct number of panels for our unique usage requirements. We should not be punished economically for this approach. In the future, our demands may change again, and a third set of shares is not out of the question. The ability tot do so is great for the environment, great for resale values of our home, and make eminent sense economically.
