The town of Portland strives to make their school more sustainable.
The town of Portland strives to be more sustainable while also lowering energy costs. That is why they tapped into the Solar Municipal Assistance Program (MAP) with the Connecticut Green Bank to install a solar photovoltaic system at Brownstone Intermediate School. Solar MAP is a no-cost technical assistance program that identifies project sites, designs projects based on feasibility, provides flexible financing, and coordinates incentives and contractors. With this new system, the school can continue educating with knowledge that they are making a positive difference on the environment.
“We are thrilled to have this new solar system installed and active in Portland. Being able to help the environment while at the same time saving on our energy costs is an enormous win-win for everyone."
– Ryan Curley, First Selectman
