Bangor Beer, located on Bangor Mall Boulevard in Bangor, Maine turned on their new 140 kW solar project. In addition to enjoying the benefits of a reduction in their electrical energy costs, Bangor Beer will be significantly reducing their carbon footprint. The 368-panel array is expected to produce over 167,000 kilowatt-hours of clean solar energy every year, offsetting over 164,000 pounds of carbon annually to the equivalent of 83,679,000 beers canned.
Bangor Beer Co. is a family-owned and operated business in the Bangor region. The brewery opened its doors in 2017 and offers a large variety or freshly brewed beers and pub style food, served inside their taproom or outside in their beer garden.
Lilian Lo, owner of Bangor Beer, is excited to launch this project to reduce their carbon footprint. She states “We are often looking for ways to be innovative and give back to our community. Adding a solar farm seemed like a natural way to help us move closer to our sustainability goals and allow others in our community to access solar power as well.”
The Bangor Beer solar project was covered by the local WABI station.
