UGE Adds Six New Solar Projects Totaling 16MW Across Four States

Commercial and community solar leader UGE will be starting six new solar projects totaling 16MW, including the company’s first two community solar projects in Maryland; its first community solar project in Oregon; a municipal PPA project in Texas; and two community solar projects in Maine. 

Once the projects are completed, UGE’s operating portfolio will stand at 24MW. 

They will offset the equivalent of over 19,500 metric tons of CO2 tons annually, which equates to the amount of CO2 generated by driving 50 million miles in a standard passenger vehicle. The projects will also produce enough power for 4,000 homes. 

UGE’s Maryland projects qualify for the Energy Community Tax Credit — a part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — under the coal facility closure category. The Credit provides incentives for developers like UGE to site projects on contaminated land or in communities historically dependent on non-renewable energy economies.  

“Successfully achieving Commercial Operation for six projects in one month is a massive achievement, and I’m deeply proud of our team for the weeks, months, and years of work that went into getting here,” said Nick Blitterswyk, CEO of UGE, in a statement. “Our operating portfolio grew roughly five-fold in 2024, showing what our team is capable of now that we’ve transitioned to a model whereby we develop, own, and operate our projects, and I’m excited for all we will accomplish in the coming years on our mission to make renewable energy accessible and affordable for all.”
