About us
We are disrupting the energy industry by putting people first. We are a consumer-owned cooperative that develops, owns, and operates small-scale community solar projects on behalf of our members.

We empower communities, strengthen local economies, and promote ecological practices through community-based energy systems.

🌱☀️ Look closely. It’s green under the panels, but not in the field. Under the panels, the sheep have grass to eat and shade to keep cool. Out in the fields, Maine farms are struggling through a “flash drought”—one more stressor in an already tough line of work. If your grandparents are from Maine, chances are one of them lost a beloved family farm. Between the 1950s and mid-1970s alone, Maine lost over half its farms and half its farmland. Well-sited solar can change that story. It can: 🌾 Provide revenue to help farm families stay in business ☀️ Protect animals and vegetation from heat and drought 💡 Deliver clean, local, affordable power That’s why Our Power is proud to partner with Maine Community Power (MCP). With MCP, you can: ✅ Save 15–20% on your CMP bill ✅ Support well-sited, community solar ✅ Gain a vote in the cooperative’s governance Say goodbye to your CMP bill, and hello to lower costs, local power, and stronger Maine farms. 👉 Learn more and start saving today: https://lnkd.in/e_UqXWtF #Maine #CleanEnergy #PublicPower #Farming #EnergyJustice

Whether you’re a homeowner or a renter, you can become a member-owner of a solar co-op and reap the benefits including discounts on your energy bill, opportunities to get involved in the community, the ability to elect members of the co-op board or even become a board member yourself. This week, we talked to Maine Community Power Cooperative about why it's a no brainer to join a solar cooperative this summer.

As a fellow recipient of an American-Made Program prize, Maine Community Power Cooperative congratulates the 14 Tribal Colleges and Universities awarded the Energy and Food Sovereignty Nexus Prize! One of our core policies as a community solar developer is ensuring that all our project sites host livestock grazing, crop cultivation, or pollinator habitats in addition to solar arrays. We love seeing the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supporting clean energy projects that power and empower Tribal food self-sufficiency on Tribal campuses.
🚨 Exciting news! U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced Phase 1 winners of the Tribal College and University (TCU) Energy and Food Sovereignty Nexus Prize! These 14 winners strategized plans that use clean energy to grow food self-sufficiently with sources on Tribal campuses. Each team earned a $40,000 cash prize that went directly to their TCU. See who won ➡️ https://bit.ly/3PsK74s #FoodSovereignty #TCUs #renewables
