Solar, oil dealers form partnership

Two energy companies have signed an unusual marketing agreement to broaden services offered to their respective customers.

The partnership allows Brunswick-based Downeast Energy and Portland-based ReVision Energy to offer each other's energy options. Downeast provides oil, propane and biofuel to customers generally within the midcoast Maine market while ReVision installs solar energy systems in roughly the same area, according to the Bangor Daily News. ReVision has been training Downeast employees on its solar energy systems for the past three weeks.

Mike McCormack, Downeast vice president of sales, said the partnership allows both companies to operate independently, yet address customers' requests for expanded energy options. The company chose to partner with an existing solar provider rather than develop in-house expertise, the paper reported.
