Portland, ME (September 12, 2024) – Nautilus Solar Energy®, a leading provider of community solar solutions, and the Maine Mariners, the ECHL affiliate of the Boston Bruins, are proud to announce their partnership for the 2024-2025 season. This unique collaboration not only marks a significant step in the commitment of Nautilus to the local community but also brings unique opportunities for fans to engage with both the Mariners and renewable energy in a new and innovative way.

As an Official Partner, Nautilus is launching an exclusive "Ultimate Power Play" campaign. Subscribers to Nautilus Community Solar will be eligible to win monthly prizes, including one-of-a-kind Maine Mariners experiences.

But the benefits don’t stop there—by subscribing, fans become solar pioneers, playing an active role in Maine's transition to renewable energy. Not only do they save on their energy bills, but they also contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations, helping the state achieve its ambitious renewable energy goals. In addition to all these benefits, one lucky subscriber will also win the Ultimate Fan Experience – a grand prize that promises to deliver an unforgettable day with the Mariners.

"The Maine Mariners are proud to partner with Nautilus Solar as a way to reinforce our commitment to the community. Their community solar program allows us to share in the benefits of solar power, reduce monthly electricity bills and support a more sustainable way of operating. We are excited to collaborate with Nautilus Solar throughout the year by offering special incentives to our fans who enroll in their program. We hope that all fans can join us in our efforts to build a sustainable future here in Maine," said Adam Goldberg, Maine Mariners President.
