Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission.  The SMPDC established the Southern Maine Solar Collaborative to help multiple local governments purchase solar together at a lower cost.  In 2021 the program procured 5.3MW of aggregated net metering solar credits on behalf of 7 different local entities, which helped each organization involved reach better pricing options and competitive contract terms than they would have achieved acting alone. “5 Local Governments, ME”.  www.cityrenewables.org/story/southern-maine-planning-development-commission-me/
