We feel so grateful to have the ability to choose solar when sourcing our energy needs here at the Nonantum Resort. As one of ten local businesses, we harvest the sun and use its natural power via a community grid in Rumford, Maine. This has a multiplicity of benefits including a cleaner energy source, lower environmental impact, and reduced cost to power our property. The Rumford farm will have an annual carbon offset equal to reducing 14,400,000 lbs. of emissions, 720,000 gallons of gasoline, and 313,043 trees planted!
We officially began receiving solar power in August of 2022, and will provide continued annual reporting on the environmental benefits from the program as we move forward. This is just the beginning!
