East Brown Cow and ReVision Energy celebrate completion of 11-acre solar farm in Sidney

By The New England Real Estate Journal

Sidney, ME East Brown Cow, in partnership with ReVision Energy, have completed an 11-acre solar array. The stand-alone parcel consists of 4,928 solar panels, which will offset 3,182,639 pounds of carbon dioxide annually. This is equivalent to the emissions created from more than four million miles driven annually in a gas-powered car or driving 297 times around the perimeter of the U.S.

“Our long-term partnership with ReVision Energy demonstrates our commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Tim Soley, president of East Brown Cow. “As our capacity at East Brown Cow continues to grow, so too does our responsibility to exercise that capacity in exploring new sustainability solutions. Expanding our real estate portfolio to include an off-site solar project is an exciting progression and an elegant solution in that it will yield both environmental sustainability outcomes and the financial sustainability needed for future stewardship initiatives.”

One of 20 Maine companies that took the ‘On the Pathway To 100% Clean Energy’ pledge, East Brown Cow’s solar array is designed to generate 3.2 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy each year.
