Once completed, the sites are expected to generate 11.79 MegaWatts per hour.
One megawatt hour is about 1,000 kilowatts of electricity generated per hour and would power about 9,585 homes for one hour.
The site in Windham is expected to produce 6.55 Megawatts and the other site in Rumford anticipates producing 5.24 MegaWatts.
DSD Renewables expects to launch construction of the solar project sites by March. Once operational, the projects will generate an estimated 15,508,284 kilowatt hours of renewable energy each year, avoiding the equivalent of more than 10,990 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, helping Maine smooth the way to a clean energy transition.

By calculation, 10,990 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually equals roughly the same emissions caused by burning 1.2M gallons of gasoline each year.
The company will offer the commercial customers subscription opportunities as part of the Maine Net Energy Billing Tariff Rate program.
“Businesses in Southwest Maine can now reap the benefits of clean renewable energy and offset a portion of their monthly electricity bill,” says Jon Morton, Vice President of Asset Acquisitions at DSD. “This is only the beginning of an impactful partnership, and we look forward to working on future projects together.”
Mainely Solar worked in partnership with PPL Renewables to develop the projects which have already received permits and are ready for construction. Arcadia will be managing the commercial customer subscriptions for the projects. <
