| Partner Profile The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority’s (MRRA’s) mission is to implement the Reuse Master Plans for Naval Air Station Brunswick and the Topsham Annex, manage the transition of base properties from military to civilian uses, redevelop base properties, and create new high quality jobs for Maine. In July 2012, MRRA entered into a one-year power purchase agreement with an energy provider through Maine PowerOptions to purchase 100 percent of the electricity required for Brunswick Landing from renewable generation. Specifically, MRRA is purchasing third-party certified electricity from wind generating facilities located within the continental US. Purchasing this renewable electricity: • Shows MRRA’s support for operation and development of renewable power plants • Reduces MRRA’s greenhouse gas emissions associated with its electricity use • Demonstrates MRRA’s commitment to the environment • Is consistent with MRRA’s vision for a Renewable Energy Center at Brunswick Landing • Provides MRRA with a stable, predictable electricity pricing • Provides the businesses located at Brunswick Landing with affordable, 100% renewably generated electricity | |
