With output from new solar farm in Waldoboro, Bigelow Lab gets greener

Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, in East Boothbay, is now drawing more than 90% of its electrical power from renewable energy, thanks to the new construction of a solar farm in Waldoboro.

Bigelow Laboratory is one of the largest users of the farm, according to a news release Thursday.

The 10-acre solar array is owned by SunRaise Investments, a Portsmouth, N.H., solar energy developer, owner and operator. The array went online in July.
