The municipal light plant (MLP) participants of the MMWEC/Master Sergeant Alexander Cotton Memorial Solar Project will share in the project’s benefits, which include expanding the renewable and non-carbon emitting generation sources in their utility’s power portfolios. The project also is ideal for MLPs looking to add solar to their generation mix, but may not have adequate space within their own service territories to build a solar array.
MMWEC and its member MLPs have been proactive for many years in incorporating carbon-free resources, and this project continues that trajectory. It is also in alignment with state and regional carbon emissions reduction goals, such as the state’s Decarbonization Roadmap initiative to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
